The DAC Classic 2010



This year’s DAC Classic was an event to remember. Mick Joint and his staff did a fantastic job. The tournament had over 140 players from all over Ontario, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. About 25 squash players from Windsor Squash and Fitness crossed the border to participate and 7 of them went home with hardware to show off their victories.

Mark “Legal Edge” Eugeni walked over all the competition to cruise to 5.5 championships and along the way he sold a few homes. Kevin “BFF” Furmanek rebounded nicely after a tough 1st round loss to win 5.5 Consultation Championship.

Mike “The Newcomer” Twiner showed everyone that despite being from South Carolina he knows how to play squash. Twiner’s patience style of play whore down his opponents that allowed to crowned himself 5.0 Champion.

Shaun “the Kid” Guay continues to shows great promise by winning 4.5 championships. After the victory Shaun said he could not win the championship without the help of his Dad (Gerry).

A memorable moment from this weekend was watching the father son team of Stefan and Konstantin Houbtchev coach each other though their matches. Konstantin was playing in the 4.5 draw and Stefan was in the 4.0 draw. Stefan continues to show how mature he is despite a tough 1st round loss to fellow WSF player Jeff Casey to recover to win the 4.0 consultation draw. Although Konstantin enjoys Stefan’s coaching he sometimes feels that Stefan should take his own advice.

  1. I would personally like to extend a huge "Thank You" to all the Windsor players for supporting the tournament - it would not be the event it is without you!

    Looking forward to the TTC in March!
    Cheers
    Mick
