The Ontario Singles Crokinole Championships: the 2025 Ontario Singles Crokinole Championship was held in our backyard, and saw an incredibly competitive finals bracket, with rivetting matches from the Quarters all the way to the finals! Watch the finals match on our YouTube Channel TODAY!
2025 PAX East in Boston, Massachusetts: Right after the Ontario Tournament, Jeremy, Elaine, and Garret packed up and went to Boston for the 2025 PAX East Convention for four days full of crokinole! Between Tournaments, a custom board giveaway, and tonnes of teaching crokinole to newcomers, we had a blast! If you want to see some of the action, check out the Doubles Champs VS Traceys PAX East Crokinole Match!

This was eventually cut down to the top 32 players, and then to quarterfinals, and eventually to the Championship match between George “the Chopper” McCarthy VERSUS Brandyn Osborne from the Queen City Crokinole Club! This race to 11 was fast-paced and back and forth, a battle on the board that is truly worth the watch! Enjoy the crokinole action from the other side of the world! Watch now!
