WINNIPEG (September 5, 2025) – Racquetball Canada is proud to announce the athletes selected to the 2025 National Elite and Development Teams for the upcoming season.
All team members have proudly represented Canada in international competition, either as elite or junior athletes. Canada is fortunate to have a group of athletes who are deeply committed to the national team program and to representing the country on the world stage.
Many of the athletes named to the Elite National Team are returning members who bring extensive experience and strong results. This includes several long-time members who are repeat national champions and athletes with podium finishes at the international level, highlighted by results at the World Championships and the Pan Am Games.
The Development Team is made up of both veteran and emerging athletes who have already proven themselves at the national level and continue to build their experience and podium results in international play.
Jennifer Saunders – High Performance Director
« I feel fortunate to work with such a strong and dedicated group of athletes named to this year’s Elite and Development Teams. It’s always exciting to work together in preparing for international competition, with the 2026 World Championships as a major highlight on the horizon. I’m also very grateful for the support network of our coaches, Integrated Service Team, families and parents, whose commitment makes our team even stronger. »
Samuel Murray – Top ranked male Canadian athlete
« Being part of the national team for so many years has been a privilege and a source of pride. Every season brings its own challenges, and I’m ready to see what the next one has in store for me. I’m proud of the journey so far, but I know I can still deliver a few more great results for Racquetball Canada. »
Selections were based on results from two National Team Selection Events held earlier this season, along with performances at the 2025 National Championships in May.
Athletes named to the National Teams receive financial support from Racquetball Canada, made possible through funding provided by Sport Canada. In addition, announcements regarding athletes who will receive carding support through Sport Canada’s Athlete Assistance Program will be made this fall.
