Canada winter Games<br />
The Canada <strong>Winter</strong> Games are held every four years. This<br />
year’s event was held in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Around 20<br />
different sports are present with squash being one of them.<br />
Each province fields a team of the top 2 ranked players in<br />
their U17 and U19 categories. This year, we were proud that<br />
two of our members represented Alberta: Jason Field for the<br />
boys team and Evelyn Moorhouse for the girls. Both had a<br />
great time and helped their teams to very respectable finishes.<br />
The boys finishing fourth overall and the girl’s going one<br />
better and taking home the bronze medal, finishing third in<br />
their event. Congratulations to both!<br />
Alberta closed results<br />
The Glencoe <strong>Club</strong> hosted this year’s Alberta Closed event,<br />
attracting a strong field from far and wide. Competition<br />
was always going to be tough. Standout performances for<br />
the week were from: Dustin Paisley who continued his<br />
recent vein of good form, reaching the final of the level 2<br />
event, eventually losing a very tight match to Tyler Lee from<br />
Edmonton; from Neil Pohlman who cruised through to the<br />
final of the men’s level three before narrowly losing to Alex<br />
Scherer; and from Brent Brooker who comfortably reached<br />
the final of the men’s level 4 before losing to the Glencoe’s<br />
Nathan Lao. Congratulations to all three.<br />
Glencoe Junior Open<br />
With a great squad of 33 juniors from our program<br />
descending on the Glencoe for their annual junior open event<br />

Schille, Bobby Cragg and Kate Dumaine.<br />
Runners-up were: Noel Heaton, Aaron Kunik, Hannah<br />

Alberta Junior Championships<br />
This year, the Glenora <strong>Club</strong>, Edmonton, hosted the Alberta<br />
Junior Championships. Once again, our junior section was<br />
out in force with 28 juniors travelling north. The event always<br />
has the added significance as it is the final event for juniors to<br />
try to secure a place on team Alberta. After a couple of days<br />
of fierce competition, we came away with three titles and five<br />
second place finishes. Our girls played very well. In the U11<br />
category we saw a dominating display from our members. We<br />
took places 1, 2 and 3. Lara Kunik won defeating all<br />
opponents without dropping a game. Kate Dumaine played<br />
very well to earn a well deserved second place and Brooklyn<br />
McCasey came in third. Gillian Chick had a great match in<br />
the final of the U13 category, losing by the narrowest<br />
margin a nail biting 5 set match. In the U15 event, our players<br />
secured spots 2, 3 and 4 spots with Hannah Treleaven<br />
placing second after a tough 4 game match in the final.<br />
Evelyn Moorhouse placed second in the U17 event losing to<br />
experienced campaigner Heather Yong in the final.<br />
The boys continued bringing home results. Alex Collins<br />
playing only his second event beat Tyson Schille, also a<br />
<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>Club</strong> member in an enthralling final that went the full<br />
five games. Graham Kerford, coming back from an injury,<br />
played controlled squash to reach the final, losing out<br />
eventually to number 1 seed Adrian DeVries in an<br />
entertaining 4 game final.<br />
The hottest category by far was the boys U13. With 4 of the<br />
field all ranked within the top 10 nationally, competition was<br />
sure to be brutal. Once the dust had settled, Brett Schille<br />
found himself facing Canada’s number 1 in the final match.<br />
After an hour of top squash and five physically<br />
demanding games, Brett managed to secure the title to the<br />
delight of the CWC supporters. Noel Heaton placed third<br />
while Aaron Kunik and Aidan Temple placed fourth and<br />
fifth respectively. Special mention must go to both Aaron and<br />
Aidan who showed that their hard work this season is<br />
paying off as both beat top 10 ranked player Nathan Tovell of<br />
the Glencoe <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
