The countdown is on!

It's just two short months until this year's Jim Mason Cup High School Team Tournament.

The 2023 edition makes its debut as an OFSAA Invitational event and Squash Ontario would love to know if you are preparing a team ... or teams! 

The 2023 OUA Championships were hosted by Queen’s University in Kingston this past weekend. A strong Western Men’s line up and coach Chris Hanebury kept Hall of Famer Jack Fairs’ legacy intact by winning their 39th straight OUA championships – the longest such streak in North American sports. They defeated a very strong University of Toronto led by league MVP Ali Shalaby. 

After a condensed season last year due to COVID, the Jesters University League is back and thriving! We were able to return to our normal schedule of 5 competition weekends and we welcomed back McGill University to join our other 10 participating Ontario Universities. Our dedicated players and coaches have travelled across the province throughout this season to face off against each other.  

The Toronto Racquet Club played host to 2023 The Weir Team Men's Veterans Doubles Championships. With 39 teams participating in this popular event put up spectacular matches and sportsmanship. It was fabulous to watch the community come out to participate, support and mingle over the weekend at the TRC. The TRC and their generous sponsors always go over and above what is expected to make this event special. 

As reported by Squash Canada, Team Ontario was crowned the 2023 Canadian Masters Teams Champions amidst a weekend of fun, friendship, and healthy competition in beautiful Charlottetown, PEI.

The Ontario Squash Hall of Fame Board of Governors is very pleased to announce that 3 new members have joined the Board. We welcome Kirsteen Burton, Lorraine Tetreault and Pat Richardson.

Team Ontario will be competing from January 27th – 29th in Charlottetown, PEI at the 2023 Canadian Masters Teams Championship presented by Vogue Optical at the Eastlink Centre. The Championship will serve as the test-event for the upcoming 2023 Canada Winter Games taking place in February.

What better way to invest in the future of this great sport than to give our youth access to it? We need your help to do this. Squash, introduced at the school level, can be the first step on the path to high performance or simply spark a life-long love for the game that recreational players carry well into adulthood.  

The 2023 Hennessy & Hinchcliffe Mixed Doubles Championships was the largest mixed championships we have record of with 126 players competing in 8 different divisions! Marci Sier, her tournament committee and the staff at the Badminton & Racquet Club went above and beyond to ensure a great time was had by all.
