The College Squash Association is deeply saddened to report the passing of Victor Niederhoffer, who passed away on August 4 at the age of 82.
 
Niederhoffer’s remarkable squash career began at Harvard, where he entered college having never played or even seen the sport. Just four years later, he completed an undefeated senior season by winning the 1964 Intercollegiate Individual Championship.
He went on to win a record five U.S. National Singles titles, three U.S. National Doubles championships and the North American Open. He was inducted into the Harvard Varsity Club Hall of Fame in 1988, the CSA Hall of Fame in 1992 and the U.S. Squash Hall of Fame in 2000.
 
Beyond the court, Niederhoffer became a prominent investor, trader, hedge-fund manager and bestselling author.
 
Victor Niederhoffer will be remembered as one of the most accomplished and impactful players in the history of squash. The CSA extends its deepest condolences to his family, friends and all those whose lives he touched.

Successful launch is an understatement. 
 
Montana celebrated the opening of the first outdoor squash courts in the state and the largest outdoor squash facility in the United States at the Missoula YMCA Airnasium.

The weekend featured youth clinics, professional exhibitions, community events, and the first professional squash match ever played in Montana, bringing together players, families, donors, and squash supporters from across the country. More than just a new facility, these courts represent what can happen when a community comes together with a shared vision.

The College Squash Association was proud to be part of this historic celebration and connect with leaders from across the squash world. As the sport continues to grow in new places, weekends like this remind us that the future of squash is built through collaboration, opportunity, and community.

Congratulations to everyone who helped make this incredible project a reality. Here’s to the next chapter of squash in Montana! 👏
