Congratulations to Team Rokke of Fargo, ND, the junior women's champions, and Team Kadlec, the junior men's champions, of the 10th Annual Eau Claire Open Junior Bonspiel! Team Rokke and Team Mihm of St. Paul, MN earned the event's spots at the 2027 USA Curling Junior National Championships.
Team Rokke
Team Mihm
Junior Women: Team Rokke (Lily Rokke, Olivia Johnson, Madilyn Johnson and Karena Thurlow) finished first in the round robin and advances to Junior Nationals.
Junior Men: Team Kadlec and Team Mihm (David Mihm, Brycn Warring, Gavin Agre and Henry Jordan) reached the final. Because Team Kadlec had already qualified for Junior Nationals, the game had no bearing on who would advance. Team Mihm forfeited, giving Team Kadlec the event win, and Team Mihm was the team that advanced to Junior Nationals from this event. Team McMullin took third place.
Nineteen teams from across the region played November 6-8. Missed a game? All 48 streamed games are ready to rewatch, organized by draw on the bonspiel page.
Thank you to every team, family, volunteer and fan who made it a great weekend. Proceeds support our Junior Curling Program.
Save the date: next year's bonspiel is November 5-7, 2027.
