Summary

This week Pat and Mark’s conversation revolves around, this past weekend’s CNPL (Canadian Professional Pickleball League) Tournament, the quality of play, and the challenges and extreme effort it is to host such a series as this across Canada.

We quickly introduce ourselves being this is an early episode and we already have so many new viewers or listeners.

Mark discusses pickleball etiquette for public courts and open play.

We briefly introduce the Selkirk Amped Pro Air Paddle.

And, finally, we talk about the upcoming CPA Pro Tour, and some pickleball tournaments coming up in New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and BC.
