Ford Hot Shots

The Ford Hot Shots was the annual skills competition preceding both the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and the Tim Hortons Brier, Canada's women's and men's national curling championships respectively.

Fifteen teams would compete instead of individual curlers, with the winning team being awarded a cheque for $15,000 and one of four Hot Shots spectators winning the two-year lease on the Ford vehicle.

[3][4] The three finalist spectators would each receive $500 to donate to the charities of their choice.

"[7] Until 2018, the winner of the Hot Shots received a 2-year lease on a Ford vehicle.

In 2009, the women's winner received a lease on a 2009 Ford Flex SEL FWD and the men's winner received a lease on a 2009 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4.
