Squash Canada Unveils 2014 Women's World Team Championship Logo by Howard Harding 25 March 2014
- Squash Canada has unveiled the logo for the Women's World Team Squash
Championship 2014, the World Squash Federation (WSF) championship which
will take place from 1-6 December at White Oaks Conference Resort &
Spa in Niagara-on-the-Lake in the Canadian province of Ontario.
The biennial
Championship will feature the top female players on the planet
representing their nations. Teams from every continent will participate
and the Championship will serve as the Official Test Event for the 2015
Pan Am Games. The 2012 Championship, played in France, was won by Egypt
and they will be seeking to repeat in the 2014 edition.
The 2014 Championship
logo is a pictogram of a maple leaf comprised of 31 silhouettes of the
leading female squash professionals from around the world. These
silhouettes are based on the photography of Steve Cubbins of SquashSite
and include such international luminaries as Malaysia's world No1 Nicol
David, England's new world champion Laura Massaro, and Egyptian Raneem
El Welily, all of whom are expected to be participating.

client list includes many squash associations and clubs including NY
Squash, PSA, Squash BC and Squash Canada. Robert Pacey, an avid
Canadian squash player, is the founder of Squash Republic.

can be very creative too - and this one is! These Canadian-hosted
championships are going to raise the bar in many elements, and their
event identity has just provided another example of the vitality and
