The U25 NextGen Classic is an annual curling tournament held at the Saville Community Sports Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. The event is held each year in late August to early September with the goal of helping junior teams to transition into the adult ranks.[1]
The event is streamed on Curling Canada's YouTube page.[2]
The event was created by manager of youth curling and NextGen programming Helen Radford to help junior curlers transition into men's and women's play. It allows teams that are a combined age of 100 years or less (50 for mixed doubles) the opportunity to play against each other with the opportunity for direct entry into Curling Canada's NextGen Future program.[1] The event was first held in 2022 following the inaugural Best of the West U30 event at the end of the 2021–22 season. The 2022 event featured 10 men's and women's teams and 16 mixed doubles teams.[3]
