    Squash Canada sends it good luck to those 60 athletes as they battle to win the Cup for Canada for the second time in the history of the event; the first win coming for Canada in 2012, the last time it was held state-side.
     
    Yesterday, Squash Canada announced the club selected to host when the event returns north of the border in 2018.  As the 2016 event gets underway, the Toronto Cricket Skating & Curling Club will be making notes and starting preparations for their turn at hosting in two years time.
