Squash Canada Upgrades Shrine to Canadian Squash Hall of Fame

The Squash Canada Board of Directors is pleased to announce the inauguration of the Canadian Squash Hall of Fame to succeed its previous Wall of Fame.

A Canadian Squash Hall of Fame Commission has been appointed to take over the management of the Canadian Squash Hall of Fame, effective March 1st, 2022. The Commission while under the auspices of Squash Canada, will operate independently using Guiding Principles similar to those of the US Squash Hall of Fame which place an emphasis on the athlete. The Commission’s role is to preserve all aspects of Canadian squash history and identify those individuals or entities who have made a significant positive impact, an exceptional contribution to the sport of squash in Canada, and are worthy of induction into the Hall of Fame.

Commission members include Chair Steve Wren (Past President Squash Canada 2018-2021), Lolly Gillen (Past President Squash Canada 2013-2018), current Canadian Squash Hall of Fame inductees Kathy Lundmark (Coach – 2005), Penny Glover (Official – 2014), Graham Ryding (Athlete – 2014) and Gene Turk (Coach – 2015), plus squash historian Rashid Aziz (BC).

The Commission has begun a process to call for nominations from the Canadian squash community, with the intention of staging a 2022 Canadian Squash Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony during the Canadian National Squash Championships at the Vancouver Lawn Tennis & Badminton Club on June 4th, 2022.

Previous Wall of Fame inductees have automatically been enshrined into the new Hall.
