Some of the best young curlers in the upper Midwest are coming to Eau Claire for the 10th Annual Eau Claire Open Junior Bonspiel, Friday, November 6 through Sunday, November 8. This year the stakes are higher than ever. The bonspiel is an official qualifier for the 2027 USA Curling Junior National Championships, and the top men's and women's teams will earn a trip to Nationals.

Admission is free and everyone is welcome, whether you've curled for years or have never seen a game in person. Stop in for a few ends or cheer on the teams all weekend, with beverages available for purchase. Can't make it? Every game will be streamed live on our Curling Stadium YouTube channel. Proceeds benefit the Club's Junior Curling Program.

Learn from the best! Team Hebert, the Eau Claire Curling Club's own 2026 World Junior Men's Champions, is hosting a Skills Series open to all curlers, whether or not you're a Club Member. The series kicked off with Delivery in October, and two Sunday evening clinics are still to come: Sweeping on December 6 and Strategy on January 17.

Each clinic focuses on one core skill. You'll work directly with a Team Hebert member on and off the ice and leave with a skills and drills worksheet to keep improving. Clinics are for curlers with some experience and are limited to 24 participants each, so register early. Sign up for one or both. All proceeds help Team Hebert cover their travel costs as they compete on the world stage.
