U15 Rockfest

The goal of the U-15 RockFest events is to provide a nationwide opportunity for youth curlers to develop their skills and compete against curlers from neighbouring provinces and territories.

The new events focus on developing the skills of youth curlers as individuals, helping them develop a well-rounded skillset in all aspects of the game in a fun and competitive environment.

With this age and stage (Train to Train) being critical in Curling Canada’s Long-Term Curler Development framework, U-15 RockFest events provide new opportunities for youth curlers to compete and have fun while playing, while extending their learning on and off the ice.

NEW this season, U-15 RockFest SK Qualifiers will be hosted across the province!
