home Smigel award

The Smigel award is given once each Fall and Winter season to a player who best exemplifies the spirit of City League. The award is named after David Smigel, a long-time member, who really set the tone for the league. Dave was the ultimate good sportsman and loved the game of squash. He would encourage new players, put his heart into the game and always left everyone with a smile. He also loved the community of City League and was a regular at the pub where he could connect with his fellow squashers.

So, once a season we honor those that share Dave's good spirit for the game. The intention here is to record all those that have been given the award over the years.
