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.
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. With thanks to the Jesters Club of Ontario, we were thrilled to again recognize the brightest lights of 2022-23 in sportsmanship, on-court excellence, commitment to improvement and coaching achievement at our banquet Saturday night.
Please join us in congratulating the following people for their hard work this squash season.
