Back by popular demand, the U18 Hammer Bonspiel returns to the ice this fall at Hamilton Victoria Curling Club — and it’s ready to deliver another weekend packed with competition, development, and early-season momentum. After a strong debut last season, this high-energy event is set to become a staple stop on the Junior Curling Tour of Ontario!
With space for 10 men’s teams and 10 women’s teams, the Hammer is perfect for U18 teams looking to gain valuable reps, challenge themselves against strong opponents, and compete for cash and pride. Teams will play a minimum of 4 games in the round robin, with a playoff round added based on final entries, ensuring every team gets meaningful competition throughout the weekend.
This is a cashspiel-style event, and the prize purse will scale with the number of participating teams — so the stakes are high, and the rewards are real. To qualify for Curling Ontario’s Trillium Team Ranking System (TTRS), each gender division must include at least 4 teams, so bring your best and help shape the competition.
If you’re looking for early ice, fierce matchups, and a chance to make a statement this season, the Hammer is where it starts. Hit the ice, make your mark, and swing big in Hamilton!
