Women's Pro Exhibition Match Video

As part of the 2012 Junior Fundraiser tournament, Squash PEI welcomed two professional female squash players, Stephanie Edmison and Samantha Cornett, to the island. The women put on a junior clinic, played an exhibition match against each other, played the island's second ranked male athlete, Mitch Chaisson, and played games against some of the provinces top junior athletes.

These talented young women grabbed the attention of all participants in the event, whether they were junior players or adult spectators, not only with their incredible skill but also with their fun and open personalities.

Check out the pictures from their visit and from the Junior Fundraiser tournament in the right side panel.

Enjoy this video of part of their exhibition match!

Mill River Delays

With stormy winter weather imminent (for the first time this year, naturally), we wanted to let you know thatthe Mill River Tournament will go forward as planned.

 

If the weather somehow impacts your travel plans, please call Mill River - 902 859 1575 and let us know about your delays.

 

There is no telling how bad the weather will be and how many people will be held up so at this point we can only say we'll do what is possible to accomodate. The draw is extremely full, so folks who are able to be at the courts on time, please be prepared to play earlier, if need be.

 

Can't wait to be snowed in with you all!

Monday Night Boasts!

John and I would like to thank all players who helped out and played in court 2 last night. We were really pressed for time to complete all matches before 9:30 so it was great that players played in the court with no door.  That’s your cue Jeremy and Steve to come up with a tune for the Mill River Social about court 2. The Sweet Drops (90 points) moved from last to second place with wins coming from  Lester  Jinks, Jonathan O’Keefe, Connor Jinks, Ryann  Jinks, Jeremy Stiles, Jordan Chandler, Jane Hicks and Emma Jinks. Their total of 44 points is a new record for the league.  Give credit when it is due, Jonathan O’keefe  was all and more then this CWOV could handle, however, I have to say that I was somewhat distracted by the refracted light coming from a spot on the back of Juice’s head, hmmm what could that be? The Gorgeous Lobs (91 points) remain in first place with wins from Ken, Jordan, Benoit (money in the bank) Sampson and Ken Hopkins. The Straight Nicks are a close third with 89 points, the Nicks picked up wins from Gary and Inez Roberts, Seanna  Evans-Renaud  and Cam  (The Barbarian) Beck. Cam showed his warm, caring and fuzzy side last night when he cracked Paul Norris with his raquet , Cam immediately checked his raquet  , class act Beck! Good luck to all those playing at Mill River this coming weekend, play hard, party hard and have a great time! Until next week, get to the T, the walls are your friends and Juice should seriously consider wearing a hat when he plays from now on!!!
