2026 Alberta Open Invitational - Turk and Craig defend their Championship Titles!

What a great three days of squash at the 2026 Alberta Open Invitational hosted by the BVAC.

The Sunday final matches saw Hannah Craig and Connor Turk prove they were top of their class with dominating 3-0 performances through all 3 rounds of the event.

Yemisi Olatunji made a strong push demonstrating her court sense and athletic abilities, but Craig was up for the challenge and was not to be denied.  With relentless pressure on the ball and precise hitting Craig proved to be too much to handle on her way to her second consecutive championship.

Calder Murray pushed hard, as always, but Turk, who was not going to be denied his 4th Alberta Open title, played at a relentless pace while throwing in a sprinkle of soft boast and drops to keep Murray from sustaining pressure during many long and physical rallies.

It was a great showcase of Alberta's Top 8 of 15 men and women players with draws that have continued to get stronger each year.

A big thank you to the BVAC for hosting the event on the heels of the 2026 Canadian Men's Open - a great way to cap off the 2026 CMO finals night with a move into the BVAC for the first round of the 2026 Alberta Open Invitational. What a fantastic week of squash in Calgary!

A huge shout out to our officials: Rod McDougall, Ben Grout, David Young, Colin Schille, Chris Doyle and Ian Laycock for their time and efforts in overseeing the oncourt proceedings during the event.

Thank you to Squash Alberta for organizing and overseeing the annual celebration of our top Men and Women - it is always a treat to watch squash at this level in Alberta and to realize how good our top athletes really are.

Congratulations to Connor and Hannah, our 2026 Alberta Open Invitational Champions.

We look forward to the Alberta Open Invitational in 2027 - The field keeps getting stronger every year!
