Halifax, Nova Scotia, The Bluenose Squash Classic is pleased to announce that Nova Scotia’s premiere international squash tournament is moving to a glass court on the stage of the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium at Dalhousie University.
The tournament, which attracts the world’s top squash players to Halifax, will be played in a portable, all-glass squash court which will be erected on the Cohn stage for the tournament which will take place March 26-31, 2012.
Organizers say the new venue and glass court will showcase the speed and drama of the sport and significantly increase the capacity for spectators.
“This shift in venue elevates the Bluenose Squash Classic to the top echelon of sporting events in Atlantic Canada,” said Zal Davar, Bluenose Squash Classic chair and founder.
Now in its seventh year, the Bluenose tournament has been played at Saint Mary’s Tower. This year, The Tower will host two days of qualification rounds March 26 and 27. Admission for preliminary rounds is free of charge.
The Bluenose has grown over the years from a small event to the largest professional squash event in Canada with a prize pot of $55,000 available for winners and runners up.
New this year is the 2012 Bluenose Squash Classic Event Pass. The $74.50 Event Pass provides full access to all main round matches played at the Cohn and is available for a limited time only.
Thanks to support from sponsors, ticket prices have been substantially reduced this year.
Tickets are now on sale and available through the Rebecca Cohn box office in person, over the phone, or online.
The Bluenose Squash classic is a not-for-profit organization created in the memory of Marcella Davar and supports the Canadian Cancer Society with voluntary contributions from ticket holders.
