“It was a fantastic tournament honouring the memory of Steve Mayhew and featuring many
top local and out of town athletes,” said Shelley Moloney, President, Peterborough Pickleball
Association. “Pickleball is a sport that drives tourism, drives economic value and drives
interest from people wanting to play. Pickleball players from outside our community came
here, stayed in our hotels, and spent money at our local businesses, restaurants, and tourist
attractions. We are thrilled that our event can help contribute to the success of our whole
community.”
