The London Smash are keeping their core intact as they charge into the C4 season of the Canadian National Pickleball League (CNPL).
The club officially announced the re-signing of Ryan Torresin and Jessica Kawamoto, ensuring their most potent combination returns for another championship run.
The Deadliest Duo
Torresin and Kawamoto, the deadliest mixed duo in CNPL history, were major contributors to the Smash's success throughout the 2025 campaign.
Their mix of consistency, chemistry, and competitive fire made them staples of the London lineup and a nightmare matchup for opposing teams.
Ryan Torresin: The Strategic Anchor
Ryan Torresin, one of the CNPL's most steady and strategic players, returns as a key figure in the Smash's men's rotation.
Known for his court IQ, control, and calm under pressure, Torresin provides both leadership and poise to a team always in the playoff mix.
Jessica Kawamoto: Dynamic Force
On the women's side, Jessica Kawamoto re-signs after a breakout 2025 season that saw her emerge as one of the league's most dynamic and dependable players.
Her quick reflexes and fearless net play were pivotal to London's success in tight matches, and her continued growth promises even more impact in C4.
Setting the Tone for C4
"Ryan and Jessica represent everything the Smash stand for; grit, teamwork, and consistency," said the Smash's owner Ed Sater.
"They've been pillars of our culture, and having them both back is a huge win for our organization."
With two core veterans locked in, the London Smash are setting the tone early for C4, a season that's shaping up to be the most competitive in CNPL history.
