Five Years Strong the 2026 AirSprint Private Aviation Canadian Men’s Open Returns to Calgary’s Core This Week (March 2 – 6)

    The AirSprint Private Aviation Canadian Men’s Open 2026 kicks off this coming Monday, March 2 – 6, marking a milestone fifth year of world‑class professional squash inside Calgary’s Bow Valley Square. Following the excitement of the Canadian Women’s Open earlier this season in Toronto, attention now turns west as Calgary welcomes some of the sport’s biggest stars and rising talents.  

    This year’s draw promises powerful matchups and high‑quality play throughout the week with several of the PSA World Tour’s Top 25 players set to compete, including Marwan ElShorbagy (ENG), Victor Crouin (FRA), Leonel Cardenas (MEX), Greg Lobban (SCO), and Miguel Rodriguez (COL). 

    Canadian fans will have plenty to cheer for on opening day, beginning March 2, as Connor Turk, Head Professional at the Bow Valley Athletic Club, represents the host venue at 4:45 PM (MST) against Frenchman Toufik Mekhalfi. Later, he will be followed by David Baillargeon, Canadian No. 1, who makes his return to World Tour events at 7:00 PM (MST) against Simon Herbert (ENG). These opening-day matches will set the tone for an electrifying week of play, as the top seeds take to the court for the first time on Tuesday, March 3. 

    Beyond the competition, the AirSprint Private Aviation Canadian Men’s Open continues to build on its reputation as an event that brings people together, strengthening community ties and showcasing elite sport in Calgary’s downtown core.
