Memorable Moments 

Alf arrived to the Club 12 years ago; with a mandate to improve service 

levels, tighten all internal controls and processes, and be entrepreneurial 

in thought. When Alf arrived, the Club was doing approximately $700,000 

in gross revenue in the F&B department. Today we are over $3,000,000. 

Alf has worked with very dedicated people, and a team that has been able to 

do amazing things out of a kitchen that is truly designed for half the load. 

Alf as the leader of the F&B team has had his signature in most of the 

developments, improvements and results that come out of the department. 

Alf will be missed by both members and staff alike, and on behalf of the Club, 

we would like to thank him for all he has done for the organization and 

wish him all the best in the future.

As 2010 draws to a close and we go into a new year, I can 

say that it has been a year of great progress and change for 

the Club. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like 

to extend Season’s Greetings to all members and the best to 

everyone for 2011. 

The new year will usher in our much anticipated expansion at 

the Club. Your Construction and Strategic Planning 

Committees have been hard at work getting the final approval 

for the Development Permit. We have also made changes that 

will make the future work in Phase Two and Three add so 

much more value to our Club. Our mid-February start date 

is coming up fast and I must ask now for your anticipated 

patience and understanding. For anyone who has renovated 

or built, the disruption to services, noise and dust will come 

as no surprise. Your Board has pledged to keep the lines of 

communication open so that when rescheduling and problems 

are foreseen, you will be notified by e-mail and through Club 

Connections. Watch your inbox as our Construction Team 

will be providing many updates. 

On October 23 rd , the Board and senior management met for 

a day-long retreat at the Club. The theme of the retreat was 

service and how it can be improved in all areas of the Club. 

Many great ideas were offered and I was impressed with how 

all members of the team brought forward excellent 

proposals to make the Club an even better facility. Both 

Board and Management realize that members expect a high 

level of service. We were fortunate to have Ed McLaughlin, 

CEO of Vancouver’s Hollyburn Club give a presentation. 

His club has just completed an expansion and he was good 

enough to share many insights that will hopefully make our 

project run smoothly. Another suggestion that came out of the 

retreat was the idea of mini surveys. In the past, the Club has 

done major surveys, but usually every three years at most. I 

know that we can all be inundated with surveys, but please 

take the time to respond. It is hoped that hot button areas, 

like Food and Beverage, can be improved by just asking the 

members on a more regular basis.

I spoke earlier of change at the Club. As of the last week of 

October, the Selection Committee with the help of the search 

firm Conroy Ross, has interviewed six candidates for the 

position of CEO at the Club. Further meetings are scheduled 

for early November and we hope to soon have the permanent 

position filled. Thanks to all of those who applied. In the 

interim, Jan Bloemraad and his senior managers have done an 

excellent job of conducting “business as usual” at the Club. 

This relatively young group has many excellent ideas to offer. 

Also, effective November 1, 2010, Alf Saunders resigned as 

Food and Beverage Manager. I would like to thank Alf for his 

years of service to the Club and wish him well in his future 

endeavours. 

You may have noticed the new menu at the 818 Bistro. Why 

not make a dinner reservation if you haven’t been there for a 

while? Say hi and pass on any suggestions to Chef Nancy. It 

is the goal of this Board to make the Club’s facilities a 

member’s first choice when it comes to dining. The 

message came through loud and clear at the AGM that change 

is needed. I hope when our permanent CEO is in place that 

we can conduct a thorough examination of the facility with 

member input. To that end, I will be asking members to 

volunteer for an ad hoc committee to improve this important 

area of the Club. The Board wants to hear from you, so stay 

tuned. 

Finally, as our membership grows, we run the risk of 

becoming a large, impersonal institution. If I were to have a 

New Year’s resolution, it would be to make our Club more 

like the homey, family-orientated facility of days gone by. 

Don’t walk down the hall with your head down. Say hi to 

fellow members and make new members feel welcome. The 

atmosphere at the Winter Club is only as good as we make it. 

When our expansion is complete, we will have a wonderful 

building. Let’s work together to make it an equally wonderful 

gathering place! 

See you at the Club!

ACHIevement AwARD 2010 

This year’s recipient of the Donna 

Rutherford Male Achievement Award is 

Derek Field. Derek is attending California 

Lutheran University, studying Geology 

and is playing on the golf team. 

Derek’s dedication to learning started in junior high by 

making the honor roll with a higher than 80% average, every 

term, every year. Derek still saw room for improvement 

entering high school and became an Honors with Excellence 

student throughout high school, achieved by maintaining a 

greater than 85% average. 

Derek likes to compete in sports for the personal challenges 

that they provide. Having played hockey for 9 years, this 

taught him toughness and grittiness. Soccer, lacrosse and 

baseball instilled a sense of teamwork. 

Derek started playing squash at age 6, was a five-time CWC 

junior champion, and was ranked #1 in Alberta and as high as 

#6 in Canada by 2009. He was a two-time Junior Provincial 

Team Member, a Gold Medallist in the 2008 Alberta Winter 

Games and competed at Canadian, US, European Junior Open 

events. Derek competed in the Scottish and British Junior 

Opens as a member of Team Canada. 

By age 14 Derek became a full-time golfer in the summer 

months. He participated in the “Strive For Excellence” RCGA 

Program in 2008 and 2009 and won the MacLennan Ross 

Tour Championship in 2008. Derek competed in the Alberta 

Junior Provincials in 2009 and 2010 as well as in the Alberta 

Mens Open in 2010. He played in the CJGA and Maple Leaf 

Junior tour and qualified for the Tour Championship in 2009. 

In the span of 3 years Derek dropped his handicap from 24 

to 2 and has had numberous top 5 results in Provincial and 

National golf events. 

Music also has been of huge importance in Derek’s life. In 

junior high, he first started playing saxophone and within a 

few months he became the star saxophone player. By high 

school, he had established himself as the saxophone section 

leader and first chair alto sax in every band. Derek’s 

scholastic references noted how they have seen Derek prepare 

himself for a future in post-secondary education through 

setting goals and understanding that hard work and 

determination are required to succeed. 

Derek is a most worthy recipient of the Donna Rutherford 

Male Achievement Award. 


JOAn RICHARDSOn memORIAL 

AwARD – 2010 

The Joan Richardson Memorial Award 

recipient for 2010 is Meghan Black. 

Meghan is attending the University of 

Alberta registered in the first year of a 

Masters of Science in Geology. She 

completed her Bachelors of Science degree 

with a specialization in geology in April of 2010. 

Since joining the Winter Club, Meghan’s main athletic 

endeavor and passion has been badminton. Meghan has 

enjoyed all sports through the Club and even worked as a 

multi-sport summer camp councilor in 2007. 

Meghan’s love for sports outgrew the walls of the Club and 

she started skiing. Meghan and her family were a part of the 

Sunshine Ski Club and she joined the Nancy Greene program 

for 3 years, and then skied in the Technical Development 

Program for another 3 years. She was awarded the most 

improved racer award and the sportsman award. 

In the off season, Megan became interested in horses and 

riding. Over the last 11 years she has competed at many 

different levels of competition. Her highest achievement was 

winning the Reserve Champion Youth Aged Geldings at the 

Canadian National Quarter Horse show in 2004. 

Meghan strongly believes in the importance of staying fit, 

no matter your age, ability or background. With this in mind 

she set up a Woman’s summer lacrosse league in 2007. She 

played an instrumental role in establishing the Calgary 

Woman’s Master Lacrosse League, which is open to all 

women 18 and older, throughout the US and Canada. They 

now have over 50 players, ranging in age from 20 to 53. 

While at University, Megan promoted fitness and an active 

lifestyle and coordinated sports teams for the International 

House on campus. After moving from the International 

House, she took on a role of Unit Manager for the PS 

Warren Geological Society and the Woman’s Intramural 

Sports Coordinator. Meghan’s unit ended up winning the Glen 

Ruby Memorial Conference B Cup due to their hard work, 

dedication and good sportsmanship. She also was awarded the 

TM Johnson Award for Outstanding Contribution to Woman’s 

Intramurals. 

Meghan looks forward to undertaking her Master’s degree 

with the same dedication that she has shown towards sports. 

She is indeed a worthy recipient of the Joan Richardson 

Memorial Award.

environment we will be limiting the number of infants to 

a maximum of 3 at a time and will be limiting the total 

number in the room to 25. Children will be taken on a first 

come first serve basis and since we are doing this during a 

quieter time we are hoping we will not need to turn children 

away. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this 

may cause.

The Calgary Winter Club is proud to once again be part of the Magic of Christmas, a registered non-profit 

organization that brings the joy of Christmas to people who may not be able to enjoy this joyous season. 

Starting at 6:00 am on Christmas Eve morning, volunteers go to homes in need of loving, caring and 

sharing. Many homes are visited; homes where finances are stretched to the limits, homes where illness/ 

death/violence make it hard to be joyous. They also visit nursing homes and hospitals as they share not 

only Christmas gifts but Christmas smiles and joy. We invite everyone to join us in this very worthwhile 

endeavor. Members and staff can select a tag from the Magic of Christmas tree located across from the 

Sports office and purchase a gift for the person selected. The present is then placed under the tree with 

the tag attached. Please do not wrap the present as the magic of Christmas must check all presents before 

they can be delivered. the last pick-up for gifts will be December 22 nd at noon.

Due to the cold and flu season upon us, we have been 

challenged with staff calling in sick, resulting in making some 

last minute adjustments to our swim lesson programs. We would 

like to thank you for your patience and understanding during this 

time. Please remember to keep yourself and any sick children 

home. 


wAteR wALkIng 

Walking is one of the best, safest and most natural forms of 

exercise. You can, in fact, walk your way to a healthier, 

stronger cardiovascular system. Walking is an effective exercise 

for people of all ages and all states and levels of health. 

Now that the chilly weather is upon us, why not bring your usual 

outdoor walks to the warmth of the Beach Pool? Walking in 

hip-to-waist high in water is a very good low-stress, highintensity 

exercise. Unlike walking on land, the water adds a 

dimention of buoyancy which makes for less impact but also 

adds resistance. For higher intensity, run in the water or 

challenge yourself by walking against the lazy river! (and you 

don’t even have to get your hair wet…) 

SeA SPRIteS SYnCHROnIZeD SwImmIng UPDAte 

The 2010-2011 Sea Sprites season is now 

well underway. At the time of writing, we are 

preparing for an upcoming Figures Meet we are 

hosting at the Club on November 7 th . This is a 

skills competition where the girls compete in the 

performance of specific patterns and movements 

which are key elements in the sport. 

We are excited to report that two of our athletes and our Head 

Coach were honoured recently with awards for their performance 

last season. 

Breanne Bauer - Winner of Provincial 12 and under 2010 

award. 

Maxime McLean - Winner of Provincial 14 and under 2010 

award. 

Jewely Walton - Winner of Provincial Coach 2010 award. 

Congratulations to all. 

We recently completed our first out-of-town training camp for 

our senior team. It was held in Henderson, a suburb of Los 

Vegas in late October and it turned out exceptionally well. The 

girls trained intensively in an outdoor pool, enjoying the warm 

weather and sunshine of the desert. They were also treated to 

a performance of Cirque de Soleil’s show called ‘O’, which is 

a show that features synchronized swimming, in the style of 

Cirque’ and had the opportunity to meet the coach and some of 

the performers before the show. 

Just a reminder that our annual Christmas Water Show is being 

held on December 5 th at 6:00 pm in the main pool. Come and 

enjoy watching our athletes perform their competitive routines. 

Bring the family. All are welcome.

The Sea Lions have been training hard 

with swimming, dry land and yoga 

practices in the last two months and 

now we are ready for our hard work to 

pay off! The beginner and junior group 

have had their first meet last week and 

next week our Intermediate and Senior 

groups will have their first meet. We are anticipating some 

great results. 

Our annual hosted meet, the Winter Cup, will be held on 

November 20 th and 21 st . It is a popular meet with the other 

clubs especially since we hand out medals. We would like to 

thank all our parents in advance for volunteering their time 

for this meet. Did you know we have to fill approximately 

150 volunteer positions to make the Winter Cup a success? 

In December, our intermediate A and senior groups are flying 

to Victoria to attend the Christmas Cracker Meet. Our 

swimmers always have fun and get lots of best times. We will 

hold a fun meet and Christmas party on December 14 th but 

our older swimmers will still be working hard until the 23 rd 

when their swim camp is over. Then it will be time for some 

rest and relaxation with their family and friends. We wish

Health Benefits of Swimming During Pregnancy 

What's good and healthy about swimming workouts 

performed by pregnant women? 

It is a cardio workout which helps the cardiovascular system 

perform well, which is essential for proper development of 

the uterus. It also helps maintain healthy weight essential 

for healthy pregnancy. Another swimming health benefit for 

pregnant women is that it increases the flexibility of their 

body and softens their body tissues as well. Swimming can 

also be relaxing and reduces your stress, which is essential 

during pregnancy. 

Swimming helps regulate your breathing pattern and it 

increases the oxygen flow towards your muscles. It further 

helps improve the blood circulation. It is also known to be 

good to physically challenged people. With swimming, health 

problems like leg pain and backache can be effectively cured. 

Another swimming health benefit is that it helps your strained 

spine get relaxed. A strained spine can lead to problems like 

headache and weakness. Swimming is known to cure 

problems like joint pain and high blood pressure.

Saturday, January 22 nd | 7:30 pm | $15 per person 

Thirty years ago, Dennis Havrelock felt that 

the Club should have a competitive bowling 

event that would bring together bowlers from 

all of our leagues. Thus, the Super Bowl was 

created and it has become the highlight of the 

bowling season. Once again this season, 50 

bowlers will be competing for the prestigious Super Bowl 

title along with $750 in prize money. Look for registration 

information in the Bowling Centre after Christmas and join in 

to thank Dennis for thirty years of great bowling!

HI SCOReS! 

There was some extraordinary scores bowled by the ladies 

during the first week of October. On Tuesday, October 5 th in 

the Tuesday Ladies League, the ladies high single on lanes 7 

& 8 changed hands three times that afternoon. It all started 

when Laurie Tambosso took the lane high with 257, but 

Tracy Rvachew wrestled it away in game two with 273. Not 

to be outdone, Laurie took Tracy’s name off the board in the 

third game with a tremendous 281 game. Later that evening, 

the lanes were still hot as Toby Roch rolled her career high 

game of 302. Two nights later, Cheryl Grabowecky bowled 

her best game and the new ladies Club High Single of 314. 

Other recent high scores have included 287 by Michelle 

Huszti, 276 by Milvia Nazarko, 253 by Margaret 

Shannon, 255 by Marg Aksenchuk, 230 by Diane

tRemenDOUS BOwLIng! 

On November 8 th , Ken Hilland came very 

close to achieving five-pin bowling 

perfection with a 416 game. Ken rolled nine 

strikes in a row and then left a corner pin 

standing in the tenth frame to end his 

amazing run. Ken spared it up and left 

another corner pin standing on his last ball 

of the game. His 416 game was the highest 

game at the Club since Rob Robostan’s 418 game in 1996. 

Special thanks goes out to Antosz Orthodontics for sponsoring 

our 9 strikes in a row award that will be presented to Ken at 

our Wind-up Banquet at the end of the season. 

A week earlier, Bill Daniel was on fire as 

he achieved the Men’s Club High Triple of 

865. He had games of 349, 304, and 212. 

This is a tremendous accomplishment 

considering that Bill’s average was 183 at 

the time. On the night, Bill was an 

unbelievable 316 points over average. 

Congratulations, Bill! 

In memORIUm 

It is with deep regret that I announce the 

passing of long-time league bowler Vic 

Shymanski after a brief illness. Vic bowled 

in our mixed leagues on Friday and 

Tuesday nights over the years. He was also 

an avid tennis and bridge player. Vic could 

also be counted on as a volunteer whenever 

the opportunity presented itself. He was a true sportsman, 

gentleman and family man. In fact, three generations of Vic’s 

family presently participate in our bowling leagues. Deepest 

sympathies go out to the Shymanski family for their loss.

PHYSIOtHeRAPY 

Neuro-Proprioceptive Taping – Fad or Proven Technique? By Sport Physiotherapist Lois Pohlod 

Winter Club goers may have seen fellow members working 

out with blue, black or even pink tape on one of their body 

parts. This colored tape was initially developed by 

chiropractor Kenso Kase of Japan and has recently become 

a big part of sport medicine rehab. Mr. Kase wanted a tape 

that could modify the normal function of soft tissues but not 

restrict the way traditional athletic tape does. He developed 

Kinesiotape in 1995 and it has been used by high performance 

athletes at the Olympics and in professional sport ever since. 

You may have seen it on the shoulder of USA beach 

volleyball player Keri Walsh at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. 

This tape is modeled on the thickness and elasticity of real 

skin. It is made of cotton and has elasticity throughout that 

allows the taped area to move through full range of motion. 

It is used to improve proprioception (one’s awareness of the 

position of a body part); to help control swelling; to facilitate 

or inhibit muscle function and decrease pain by correcting the 

tissue and surface stimulation. 

After recently completing the Neuro-proprioceptive taping 

course, the Calgary Winter Club physiotherapists have been 

putting this concept to the test. New injuries respond to taping 

for circulatory effects. A web-like taping seems to control 

swelling in the affected area allowing for earlier return to 

activity. This ‘tissue correction’ technique is thought to 

increase microcirculation and optimize the movement of 

‘metabolic waste’ that develops in the early stage of injury. 

Another tissue correction technique of placing an X over a 

trigger point seems to quiet down the constant tightness and 

pain caused at these areas. One common area helped by this 

technique is pain between the shoulder blades. 

The facilitation technique has tape placed with tension from 

the origin of the muscle to its attachment. The moderate tension 

placed on the tape stimulates the muscle to contract more 

of its fibers allowing for a stronger muscle. An example is 

facilitation tape over the lower inside muscle of the 

quadriceps (the Vastus Medialis Oblique). This muscle is 

key in control of the patella and facilitating the VMO allows 

better tracking of the kneecap resulting in less patella-femoral 

knee pain. Adding the inhibition technique to the outside 

muscle of quadriceps (Vastus Lateralis) lessens the pull of this 

muscle on the kneecap making for better patellar movement. 

One of the inhibition techniques that has been giving many 

patients good relief is the inhibition of the levator scapula 

muscle of the shoulder. This muscle works double time in 

shoulder injuries and simply placing the tape over this muscle 

in the inhibition technique quiets it down and allows the 

proper movement technique to happen. 

Direction of pull and tension of the tape are the key elements 

to a good result from using this tape. Once a technique is 

shown to be helpful in injury treatment, most patients can be 

instructed on self-application. Each application lasts 3-5 days 

and the tape can be worn while exercising and showering. 

More research is being published on the positive effects 

of Neuro-Proprioceptive taping. This tape is sold by many 

companies under brand names such as K-Tape, Leukotape-K; 

Fysiotape and the original Kinesiotape. If you have an injury 

that you think may benefit from this taping technique speak 

with one of the physiotherapists at the clinic.

COACHeS tIP 

It is important for athletes to periodically examine and record 

their present level of achievement and potential to develop 

goals to improve their personal performance. Take some time 

to sit down with your coaches and parents to make a plan of 

action. Goal setting and re-evaluation of these goals is 

imperative to skating excellence. 

We are halfway through our season! We are 

pleased to see improvement throughout all Winter 

Club skaters. All of those extra spin and off-ice 

classes are paying off! Great work skaters. 

Sincerely, 

The CWC Skating Section

Dear Calgary Winter Club Members, 

This is the second Expansion Update we are providing to our members and we will continue to provide 

regular updates until the project is completed fall 2012. While there is still no actual construction 

activity, this initial stage does involve much planning, costing and evaluation and detailed design for 

structural, mechanical, electrical and architectural design. The project is progressing very well. 

U pdate #2 

We have just recently received our Development Permit after a considerable amount of delay in this 

process with the City. The next step with the City will be to apply for the Building and Foundation Permits. 

Our expectation is that this will be a quicker process. 

The architectural tender drawings are being finalized with some final decisions being made on materials 

and finishes. Each decision we make has an effect on the project budget and we are quite aware of our 

need to maintain appropriate construction and design contingencies throughout this aspect of the project. 

Construction is scheduled to start in February and the first signs of work will be on the outside in and 

around the shipping and receiving area. Our construction management company, Chandos Construction, 

will be arriving on site at that time and will use the curling parking lot as a staging area for trailers 

vehicles and materials. Chandos will require the use of this parking area until the end of next summer. 

Over the spring and early summer Chandos will level the land where the tennis expansion will be 

situated. When this area is ready Chandos will move out of the curling parking lot and move to the tennis 

area for the remainder of the project. 

We will be providing regular updates regarding the overall project and the construction schedule 

for Club members via the Club Connections, Club News and our website. 

Sincerely, 

e X p a N S I O N U p d a t e S

Calgary Winter Club Junior Open

Champions in six divisions and second place in five was a

Calgary Open 

The first ‘major’ adult tournament of the season was held at 

our Club, October 21 - 24. A core event on the Squash 

Alberta calendar this tournament always attracts the top 

players. This year was to be no exception with 130 entries 

from far and wide including one entry from Bogota 

Columbia. With the support of our sponsor Rod McCasey of 

Paradise Canyon Vacations we were able to attract top 


players fighting for the $2000 on offer in the open divisions. 

In addition some of our up and coming juniors used the event 

to sharpen their skills against their adult counterparts in the 

various skills categories. Often with spectacular results!

These new sessions are for people wanting to try squash who have never played before or who 

have played very little. Separate sessions for juniors and adults will be held one Sunday each 

month. A coach will be on hand to introduce the basic elements of the game, rules, technique, 

strategy etc during each session. Court time will be made available for anyone wanting to stay 

and practice after the session is over. A great opportunity for all members of the family to try 

out a new sport! All equipment will be supplied on the day. 

teenAge nOn-COmPetItIve SQUASH 

We will be starting a new weekly coaching group specifically for non-competitive teens. Any 

member aged 13 to 17 can now register for this new group. Ideal for anyone wanting to play 

squash but not necessarily wanting to enter into tournaments. During the sessions all of the 

basic elements of the game will be run through. 

ADULt BegInneR/InteRmeDIAte gROUPS – SPeCIAL OFFeR 

Our adult beginner and intermediate groups run weekly on Wednesday evenings. Starting in 

January each new member registering for either session who has not registered for squash 

before will receive a complimentary private squash lesson with one of the professional team 

for FREE! As always the group session will have a theme each week on a particular stroke or 

strategy, the private lesson will be an ideal environment to go over individual areas for work in 

particular correct technique. 

men’S eLIte tRAInIng 

This weekly session is aimed at open and A players who want to improve their game. The 

training will look at movement, squash specific fitness, shot selection, deception and many 

other areas.

have another chance to practice your skills during the week. Throughout the sessions we teach 

technique, all the squash shots, rules of the game, basic strategy and game play. There are four 

different sessions on offer each running for 45 minutes.

Squash Professionals 

ashley read | Head Squash Professional 

Four years ago Ashley Read came to the Calgary Winter Club to take over the head squash position. At the time there 

was only one full time pro in the squash section and the philosophy was focused around group lessons. How times have 

changed in our Squash section! We now employee three full time pros who all have world class qualifications and our 

squash area has never looked better. This can largely be attributed to Ashley as he has taken the squash section to a 

whole new level. 

Ashley has worked hard to promote his philosophy “to keep working and striving to be the best you can be.” Ashley has 

also taught our juniors that preparation has a direct result on the final result. That the effort you put in will directly affect 

the result you get out. Ashley believes that we have the talent here at the Club to produce national champions and he wants 

to keep his section growing and continue to teach and strive to make our athletes the best they can be. 

Ashley is one of only 25 people in the world to have the England Squash level four Elite coaching certificate and he hopes 

one day that we can put the Calgary Winter Club on the international map. With Ashley in our corner we are well on our way. 

Susie King | Assistant Squash Professional 

Susie has been with the Club for just over two years now, and if you can believe it she used to be a student of Ashley. Susie 

played on the world squash tour and actually ranked as high as number 64 in the world. At the age of 18 Susie played for 

England in the world team’s event and they placed number 3 in the world. WOW! 

The reason that Susie came to the Club is that she saw it as a great opportunity and heard how amazing our facilities are. 

In addition she wanted to be a part of a great coaching team. Some of the changes that Susie has already worked hard 

to put in place are to increase the amount of female participation in all levels of squash. Susie also wants to increase the 

number of events that we do here at the Club each year, because she sees the benefits that result from these great events. 

Susie has already started to help build a great program in our squash section and she has really been a key contributor in 

making the squash courts “the place to be.” We are very lucky to have Susie as part of our Squash team and we are sure 

she will be here for years to come. 

Colin Whitney | Assistant Squash Professional 

Colin Whitney is the latest addition to our squash section and just joined us on September 16th of this year. Colin came to 

us from Bermuda where he had been working for the past two years. One of the key reasons that Colin moved to Calgary 

is that his girlfriend is a native Calgarian. Why Colin would move from the sunny beaches of Bermuda to the cold mountain 

region would make anyone scratch their head and wonder. 

However, Colin is very impressed with the standard of junior players that we already have at the Club, and one of his goals 

is to increase the amount of junior tournaments and events. Colin has always said “you can tell a good squash club by how 

busy the courts are.” On a weekly basis we have some of the busiest squash courts in the city and our participation levels 

are increasing every day. This is a testament to the very qualified and dedicated squash professionals that we have in place. 

Colin in his earlier working years worked for his Dad and had to be up at 6:00 am on the weekends to get to work, after 

a few months of that Colin decided that was not the life for him. Lucky for us he chose squash as his trade, so let’s hope 

we can keep him on the courts and in the game.
