Last weekend, Racquetball Canada held the second of its two annual selection events, which help seed nationals and serve as qualifiers for upcoming international events. Though the 2025 Canadian National teams that will represent Canada at the 2025 PARC (Guatemala City in April and the World Games in China in August) have not yet been announced, we now have a good idea who will do the representing based on these two events.

Here’s a quick recap
Men’s Open
prs report: https://rball.pro/f0f8fe
For the 17th time in the last 18 Canada Men’s Open events held, the singles final was @sSamuel Murray versus @Coby Iwaasa . And for the 16th time, Sam prevailed, winning in four games to secure the title (his 20th career Canadian nationals-level title, tying him for 2nd all time).
Women’s Open:
prs report: https://rball.pro/acf42e
@Frederique Lambert cruised to a title from a thinned field missing a couple of big names in Canadian racquetball, winning the 5-person round robin competition with a comprehensive sweep of all five games. @Juliette Parent came in 2nd.
—————–
With their respective wins, and with their wins last fall, both Murray and Lambert presumably have locked up the two Canadian slots for the 2025 World Games in China; they’ll be the singles entrants and will play Mixed Doubles together.
