The inaugural Canadian University Championships came to a close last week and it proved to be the first step towards the next generation carrying the torch for cue sports in this country. Many disciplines were played including 8 Ball, 9 Ball and snooker.

Competitors came from different universities to compete including the University of Toronto (the Host University), University of Waterloo, York, McMasters, Ryerson and a few more.

One player came as far as Montreal to compete, and guess what? Dany Nguyen ended up winning all 3 events and showed the poise of a champion in accomplishing the triple crown.

Snooker Canada would like to thank the people that helped make this possible including The Tournament Organizers at the .University of Toronto, Sam, Vince, Stephen and Kentaro.

A big thank you to the people that stepped up to volunteer their time and energy with many different roles, Thank you referee Dave Embleton and tournament director Martyn Armitage.

Of course, no cue sport event would be complete without the relentless support from Cue Sport Nation who seem to be everywhere these days doing their part to promote cue sports in this country. Thank you Erik Hjorleifson and Markus Noé.  Finally, thank you to Ross Carmosino at the Monte Carlo Billiards in Mississauga for hosting and sponsoring the event.
