INAUGURATION OF THE JONATHAN POWER COURT
MARCH 24, 2004

Last night, Club Sportif MAA in Montréal, renamed their glass court after the great Canadian squash player, Jonathon Power. Having moved from Toronto three years ago, Jonathon is now based in Montréal and a packed house showed up to watch him play his friend, Amr Shabana in an exciting exhibition match.

Renaming its main court had been in the plans for a few years and was done in a grandiose night. The court now boasts a huge "Dive Guy" banner on the front wall, a collage of pictures and a list of all his major titles. "This is great, I really feel lucky and proud to be at the MAA", said Jonathon. Perfectly bilingual, Jonathon is a perfect fit for Montréal, a city of 2 million with a European flavor.

After the ribbon cutting ceremony, he went on and played Amr using the new scoring system of games to 11. Club pro, Yvon Provençal who set up the night added, "Jonathon has raised the interest for the game of squash for all levels. Juniors, Club players, league players and even other pros, the MAA is one of the most active clubs that I know"
