The 2024-2025 provincial championship season is winding down after the 2025 CGG Squash Ontario Open Championships Presented by YouFirst Financial. Mayfair Lakeshore played host to an incredible weekend of squash, where players left it all on the court, showcasing skill, determination, and pure passion for the game. From edge-of-your-seat rallies to hard-fought battles, the energy was electric from start to finish.
As one of our final events of the season, the Ontario Open was the perfect way to bring our squash community together before things slow down. This weekend was a true celebration of the sport, reminding us why we love being part of this game.
None of this would have been possible without the dedication and hard work of so many individuals. A huge thank you to Tournament Chair - Ben Hatcher, Tournament Referee - Mikola Czich and our event host Mayfair Lakeshore.
