Major honours
The first North American nation to succeed in international softball squash. Squash Canada, founded in 1915, is one of the sport's oldest governing bodies; Toronto hosted the men's World Championship in 1979 and 1981, and Vancouver hosted the women's event in 1992. The player who stamped Canada's name on the world stage was Jonathon Power. He beat Peter Nicol 15-17, 15-7, 15-9, 15-10 in the 1998 Doha World Championship final to become the first North American world champion, then reached world number one the following year, also a North American first. Power's game was extreme even by the standards of his era: he broke up rallies with a relentless stream of risky angle nicks and feints, running headlong into Nicol's disciplined, length-based game. Canada has not returned to the world's top tier since Power's retirement, though Shahier Khan's marathon-length matches carry on the country's distinctive endurance tradition.

Rivalry
The rivalry between Power and Nicol is squash's most famous personal feud. The two met in consecutive World Championship finals, in 1997 in Petaling Jaya and 1998 in Doha, and neither held back on commenting about the other even after the results were decided.
