BC Junior Closed Provincial Championships

The BC Junior Closed Provincial Championships were recently held at the Hollyburn Country Club. This was the eighth consecutive year that Hollyburn has hosted the event and as usual it was a great weekend of Junior squash. Special thanks to Jeff Boag and his group of volunteers for their time and efforts in hosting this year’s Championships! This year’s event saw a change in format whereby all players were required to compete in their specific age category. The top two Provincially ranked Juniors in each age category were given the option of playing a second category. There were some excellent matches played throughout the weekend in all events. A list of this year’s Junior Provincial Champions is included below. Congrats to all our Provincial Champions!

On an annual basis, the Junior Development Committee of Squash BC presents the Massey Goolden Trophy and the Junior Service Award. The Massey Goolden Trophy is awarded to recognize junior players for achievement and sportsmanship. This year’s recipient was Morgan Latremouille. Morgan’s combination of on court demeanor and playing skill make him a worthy recipient of this year’s Massey Goolden Trophy. Earlier in March, Morgan was also presented with the John Burris Memorial Award designed to recognize players, adult or junior alike, who demonstrate sportspersonlike conduct both on and off the court. Well done Morgan! This year’s Junior Service Award recipient was Tim Saunders. Tim has, over many years, volunteered countless hours of his time towards Junior squash. Tim was the Chair of the Junior Development Committee for many years. He was also the driving force behind the creation of the West Coast Junior Team Championships and was the Vancouver League Junior Director for many years. Thanks Tim for all you have for Junior squash!

Next up for many of our Juniors is the Canadian Junior National Championships to be held April 22-25 at the Glencoe Club in Calgary, Alberta. We currently have a very strong group of Juniors and BC could very well produce multiple National Champions this year.
