The Squash Ontario junior community is truly where the “leaders of tomorrow play junior squash today”; a very special collection of junior athletes making a difference in the world from around the province. With thanks to the vision of the Jesters of Ontario, we will once again recognize the brightest lights of 2023-24 in sportsmanship, on-court excellence, commitment to improvement and coaching achievement. 

Our final championship event for all ages is just around the corner! The Mayfair Clubs and Squash Ontario are excited to host all interested players for a final provincial competition to close out a busy 2023-2024 squash season.

41 mens doubles teams descended on the Toronto Racquet Club, the Badminton & Racquet Club, and the Toronto Lawn & Tennis Club over the Feb 9-11 weekend to compete in masters age groups.

The Mayfair Lakeshore and Tournament Chair Cathy Tuckwell played host to the Ontario Women’s Veterans Doubles Championships on February 9 and 10 which saw 10 teams of women compete in the 30+ and 60+ age groups. With thanks to Cathy Tuckwell and Tammie Sangster, HEAD rep, the teams saw some fun HEAD prize draws, herb prizes, and a small but mighty group of dedicated doubles players come together over a day and a half of fun competition.

Program gives Canadian athletes between the ages of 14 and 25 the chance to be scouted by thirteen Team Canada sports for free, including Squash.

Congratulations to our Masters Team of Josh Ginou, Dolly Kao, Sean Oh, Scott Mikalachki, Young Lee, Lisa Bogdan, and Don Lee for bringing home the GOLD at the Canadian Masters Team Championships.

On Saturday, January 27th (2024), the Centre held an Open House that hosted the Saugeen Shores Winterhawks hockey team, draws for prizes and indoor squash demonstrations with Squash Ontario President, Dan Van Moorsel, and Gary Waite, President International Squash Doubles Association.

The hardball doubles community has seen an action packed season so far with provincials, community events, leagues and pro-ams and this last weekend was no different. Teams from across Ontario (and Quebec!) joined us at Mayfair Parkway in Markham as Tournament Host Cory McCartney and his team of volunteers Al Hunt, Tania Kumar, Nicole Jennex and Chad Hughes welcomed us for another weekend of fun on the courts.

Last weekend, 70 junior athletes switched things up and took to the doubles courts at the Granite Club for the 2024 OSDL and Jesters Ontario Junior Doubles Championships. It is great to see players who are typically battling it out on the singles court, team up for the weekend. 

After last season’s record-breaking participation with 15 teams over the two divisions, the 2024 Portage M&A Advisory Ontario Regional Masters Team Championships is looking to be our largest to date! With the unique experience of competing in a fun team environment, this tournament is often one players circle on their calendar.
