George Morfitt has achieved remarkable success as a competitor and administrator across tennis, squash, and racquetball for decades. As a junior, he ranked in the B.C. and Pacific Northwest Top 10 in singles and doubles tennis and competed with Modesto Junior College, winning two California State Championships, later playing for UBC. In his 30s, he captured BC 30+ tennis singles titles before turning to squash, where over 35 years he claimed numerous provincial, national, and international Masters championships, including Canadian, U.S., and Mexican titles, and contributed to Pacific Coast’s US National Team Championship. He also won multiple racquetball titles, becoming the only player to have BC and Canadian National Masters titles in all three racquet sports.

Beyond competition, George has shaped Canadian sport as president of national and provincial associations, chair of Canadian Sport Centre Pacific, and Canadian delegate to the International Squash Federation. His leadership earned him Sport Canada Executive of the Year and induction into the BC Sports and Canadian Squash Halls of Fame.
