Gary Waite – Squash

Born Sept 9, 1966 in Quebec, moved with his family to Sarnia and attended Northern.
After having been exposed to squash by his parents Lewis and Janet at the age of 12, Gary became part of a burgeoning junior squash movement in the area inundating courts at Pinsonneault’s and the Sarnia Riding Club for years to come. Gary garnered more titles than any other junior squash player in the history of Canadian squash. He would continue this trend into the professional ranks to become one of the most decorated professional squash players in the history of the game worldwide. In 1993, while attending Harvard University, Gary could lay claim to being the #1 hardball singles player, #2 hardball doubles player and #12 softball singles player in the World...a feat in combined rankings not achieved by any player in the history of any of the three disciplines.
