Red Deer Curling Classic

The Pumps and Pressure Red Deer Curling Classic is an annual bonspiel, or curling tournament, that takes place at the Red Deer Curling Club in Red Deer, Alberta.

[1] The women's tournament started in 1999 as a separate event held a few weeks earlier and merged with the men's event in 2007.

Curlers from Alberta have dominated the event on both sides since its inception.

The event counts toward the Canadian Team Ranking System, which hands out points based on performances at CTRS events and deals with qualification to the Canadian Olympic Curling Trials.

The 2018 edition of the event made headlines for the ejection of Team Jamie Koe for "unacceptable behaviour", which included arriving to compete while clearly intoxicated.
