The 2018 PBL Insurance Ontario Open Championships took place April 6-8 at Mayfair Parkway featuring some of the deepest and most talented draws in the Men's Open and other Masters divisions we have seen in years, as well as our first official Women's 65 plus draw!
A special thanks to tournament sponsor PBL Insurance, Mayfair Parkway, Tournament Chair George Abrahams, Tournament Referee Bob Mansbridge and the referee team, Squash Stream TV and Cameron’s Brewery.
The Men’s Open event was highlighted by National Team members Mike McCue, Shawn Delierre and Andrew Schnell while the Women’s Open event saw a battle between the experienced Seanna Keating and Marnie Baizley against top juniors and University stars.
