After a long day of squash, Team USA and Team Ontario boarded their coach bus for their annual trip to Niagara Falls! For some, this was their first time seeing the Falls, but even for those who had seen them before were still impressed by the pure beauty and power of this attraction.
All geared up in Team USA's new Yellow Team Shirts, the players then explored Niagara and enjoyed haunted houses, fudge and candy shops, arcades, mini-golf, laser tag, and the spectacle that is Niagara Falls. Players of all ages grouped together, some with their new friends from Ontario, and let loose after a lot of squash over the last few days and in preparation for their last competition.
That being said, as Team USA arrived back at the hotel, the tone was set by the coaches for tomorrow's matches: this is why we're here and this is what we train for. Regardless of the outcome of matches and all of the play from earlier on in the weekend, tomorrow morning decides this year's champion of the Ontario-American Challenge. Most of all, it's not always important how you start, it's how you finish - represent your country proudly and give it your all!
Fueled by this inspiration (as well as having some heavy legs from all of the activities from the last few days), Team USA made their way to bed with their focus set on their opponents for tomorrow.
