The NASH Cup
In 2008 the London Squash & Fitness Club (LSFC) made the decision to host a professional squash tournament. A committee of volunteer members came together, and a small number of dedicated sponsors committed a modest purse to “test the waters”. The response was tremendous.
Over the past sixteen years the NASH Cup has increased its men’s purse from $3,500 to $25,000, added what is now a $25,000 women’s draw, and gained a global reputation as a premier stop for rising PSA stars. 2022 drew 13 top 100 men and 18 top 100 women. Seating for the professional draws is always crowded and should be reserved early
Our region is blessed with one of the strongest university squash programs in the country. The UWO men’s squash team has been top of the Canadian rankings for 39 consecutive years (under the leadership of coaches Jack Fairs, Dave Morrish and now Chris Hanebury), and competes in the American CSA (currently ranked 12th). The UWO women’s squash team has won the OUA’s more than any other team. The NASH Cup aims to support these programs through tournament participation and fundraising efforts during the tournament.
The NASH Cup has been broadcasting it’s matches online since 2014 and expanded to a 3 camera system in 2021. 2024 will include instant replays and the direct involvement of Squash TV.
