Nothing other than the steady roar of more than 150 hyped teenagers from high schools around Ontario, GETTING LOUD at the first ever OFSAA Invitational Jim Mason Cup last weekend at Toronto’s Mayfair Lakeshore. 

Driven by raucous cheering for 24 teams –with many players brand new to squash– champions were crowned in 3 Divisions over the two-day event. 

This course is geared towards those who are club volunteers, recreational players, teachers, older juniors or parents who do not coach full time but would like to learn the basic skills of squash instruction at the grassroots level.

Another successful season is coming to a close and we were able to acknowledge our outstanding junior community at our annual awards banquet. Their dedication to squash was demonstrated last weekend as Ontario's (and beyond) top juniors, coaches, and families took over The Club at White Oaks for the 2023 Assante Wealth Management Ontario Junior Open Championships.

Mayfair Lakeshore and Head Professional Manu Dutt played host to the 2023 YouFirst Financial Ontario Open Championships this past weekend. Courts were taken over by 120 of Ontario’s top players who competed for a provincial title in 14 different divisions.

A record-breaking 15 teams and just under 100 participants competed in two divisions at this year's Portage M&A Advisory Ontario Regional Masters Team Championships, our largest to date! No stranger to hosting some of Ontario's top events, the Club at White Oaks and tournament chair Matt Easingwood ensured all players had an amazing time, on and off the court.

Squash players from all over the country descended on Charlottetown, PEI, to compete in the 2023 Canada Winter Games, which takes place every four years. The event was held from February 18-25 with the Individuals played from Sunday to Tuesday, while Wednesday through Saturday was the Team Event. 

The Squash Ontario junior community is truly where the “leaders of tomorrow play junior squash today”; a very special collection of student athletes and young people making a difference in the world from around the province. We will once again recognize the brightest lights of 2022-23 in sportsmanship, on-court excellence, commitment to improvement and coaching achievement. 

Although we are used to competing as individuals in squash, the last 5 weeks has seen an unprecedented amount of team events. Starting 2023 off with the Canadian Men’s & Women’s Teams in Regina, followed by the Canadian Masters Teams in PEI, it’s now the juniors turn to switch it up!
