The Squashist is Dead

Squashist
On On December 31, the Squashist decided to call it a day and stop blogging. A knee injury ended his amateur career, and James Prudden (aka The Squashist) decided his blog should not be written by a retired squash player.

We sat back - hoping this was a decision to be reconsidered.

However, four months onward, it appears the Squashist is no more.

The New York area squash enthusiast delighted readers for years with his sardonic wit and occasionally hyperbolic musings. At times, he took on the establishment in defense of the little guy. At other moments, he was the establishment's best defense. At all times, he wrote from the heart with affection for our game.

Someday, we hope to write it was a bad dream:

"The Squashist Lives"

Someday, we hope to write those words.
