Anyone on the board here enjoy playing squash.
I know most are into hockey in our golf "off season" but I picked up squash a few years ago and love it! Anyone else?

I love squash!!!!!!!! Awesome sport, great exercise! Haven't played since my ACL surgery though. I might have to get back into it once I have more faith in my knee.
Ouch! Can you even play after that type of surgery? What kind of chance do you have of messing that knee up again?
Well, if I wear my brace I should be fine, but nowhere near as quick as I was. Might have to try it to see.
I picked up squash last year, and have become obsessed play about twice a week. I hate exercise, and squash is the only way you can get me moving in the winter months.
love the squash!! Just got into it, playing for the first time ever about a month ago, and my buddy and i have been averaging about 5 times a week. Love the sport, and i am totally hooked, makes it easy to do the exercising!!Quote:

used to play it when I was at Carlton U. I loved it then and I still do. Great all around excersise it is.
squash is wicked fun.....wicked fun...works out a whole bunch of weird muscles too. It's been great for keeping my lateral mobility up, which i'll be glad of when I start playing goalie again in january.
Donny, I've never tried it but would love to and I have the knee problem as well (going for MRI in a few weeks to prepare for knee replacement) so I would be an easy mark for you! LOLQuote:

i would love to have a game (its been a long time) , i know that some of the Goodlife gyms have squash courts , but i'm not sure which ones.
try the nepean sportsplex....likely the best you can play without a membership
the one at pinecrest definitely does. I know you can play as a non-member if you're there with a member (I seem to recall there being a fee), but I'm not sure if you can go without a member.
Didn't even know they had courts...I'll definitely have to check that outQuote:

I was playing once a week, now twice and am looking for a third. Here in Petawawa the facilities are great at Dundonald Hall on base! Three international regulation courts built about 10 years ago, and a small group of guys meets Thursday evenings - all skill levels. Walk-ins are $5! If anyone's up this way, I'm up for a match.
