2022 Ontario Junior Awards Banquet, Supported by the Jesters Club of Ontario

2022 Award Recipient Group!

A year's worth of focus and dedication to squash was demonstrated this past weekend as Ontario's (and other province's) top juniors, coaches, and families spent the weekend at The Club at White Oaks for the 2022 Assante Wealth Management Ontario Junior Open Championships. 

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. This was the first time the junior community was able to come back together since the 2019 ceremony, and it was such a treat to celebrate together after two years of COVID-19 related ups and downs. This group of juniors were able to stay focused and committed to squash even while their counter parts in other countries and provinces started training and competing before they did. This weekend delivered top performances, touching speeches and recognition to very deserving individuals. 

Please join us in congratulating the following people for their hard work this squash season.
