By Greg, on May 5th, 2015 Resurrected in 2012 after a few years off the Newport Steamer has grown into a fantastic summer squash event in New England. Last summer nearly 150 participants enjoyed play on fantastic courts in Newport.
From the tournament directors Chris Smith and Pat Cosquer:
Now in 2015 we have taken things to another level in delivering a great squash experience as we offer two weekends of Squash. US Squash has accredited us with a Gold Level Jr Tournament which is really exciting. We weren’t going to let our Jr Silver and Adult Open go away, so we are all in for two back to back weekends of great squash, fun, and enjoyment of one of the best places to be in the summer.

By Greg, on April 1st, 2015 New Box Leagues are now available for
Large changes in both leagues as players returning to the Box Leagues after taking time off to play in the Winter League. Several new players including yet another Colby grad that hits a pretty mean squash ball! Please keep spreading the word and letting your friends know that you are an active squash player!
I will be updating the FAQ for the Box Leagues to include an additional piece of information I’ll be using for determining placement of players. The new piece is the recently revamped ratings and ranking algorithm from USSquash.com. I spoke at length with some of the developers and have analyzed the recently updated rankings and they look good. They will help in cases where existing players are joining the league after a lengthy absence and in determining splits in cases where the other indicators are mixed.
Web site and contact listings are updated.
