Ontario’s young guns were in action last weekend at The Club at White Oaks. We witnessed some breathtaking squash across all divisions, making the tournament even more exciting. This event could not have been possible without the support of our title sponsor - Assante Wealth Management.

It was double the trouble this past weekend as the men were back in action - in teams - looking to clinch The Weir Team 2022 Ontario Men's Veterans Doubles Championship titles at the Toronto Racquet Club and satellite clubs Badminton & Racquet Club, Toronto Lawn & Tennis Club, and the Royal Canadian Yacht Club.

With thanks to the Jesters Club of Ontario, Squash Ontario hosted a dinner and awards ceremony in conjunction with the Junior Open to recognize the great talent, sportsmanship, and leadership that this group of athletes possesses. Please join us in congratulating the following people for their hard work this squash season.

The Cricket Club hosted the Ontario Women’s Veteran Doubles Championship last weekend after a nasty Covid two-year hiatus. This event would not have been possible with out the support of our title sponsor Hennessy & Hinchcliffe (Mark Hinchcliff), who also ensured that the ladies were treated to an awesome complimentary Friday social. A big shout out to our tournament chair Lolly Gillen for all her hard work, she made sure this event would be a super hit.

CISP is now being offered as a drop in program to anyone with a mental, emotional or physical disability to learn squash and lead a more healthy lifestyle. Participating in squash can increase one’s ability to learn, social skills, balance, coordination and fitness and most importantly self worth.

A number of factors have led to our April 1st jam packed weekend with three provincial championship events taking place, making it the pinnacle of Squash Ontario’s 2021-2022 season. 260 athletes will lace up across Ontario vying for a podium finish in either the Assante Wealth Management Ontario Junior Open, Weir Team Ontario Men’s Veteran Doubles, or the Hennessy & Hinchcliffe Ontario Women’s Doubles. See below for each event’s highlights and links to follow along with live scoring and draws.

Sue’s celebration of life will be held at the Toronto Cricket Club on the 23rd of April, 2022 at 4pm.

This past weekend we saw the first Ontario Open Championship take place since 2019, three years off due to the world wide pandemic. Players and spectators were treated to a true Men’s Open with both semi-finals being an Ontario-Quebec standoff, and a fun Women’s Open with vets of the game against top junior athletes. It was great to be back!
