Fort Frances squash players are getting used to the new court floors at the Memorial Sports Centre, which were replaced for the first time in over three decades.
For the first time in over three decades, two brand new court floors have been installed at the Memorial Sports Centre for local players to compete on.
“The bounce is completely different and people have said ‘It sounds a lot better in there now’, which is because the other floor was basically dead pretty much. A normal squash court floor has a 30-year lifespan. Both of the courts in Fort Frances had been in place for the last three-and-a-half decades.
“An older court is something that the players would notice a lot more than someone watching the games. They're dead boards so you get bounces and the floor was starting to give way underneath you in the far corners.”“I actually went in to watch them do it and it was quite a process,” Tkachuk said. “The two guys had come up here from Toronto and they were floor specialists who have done floors all over Ontario.
