Manitoba, skipped by David Hamblin won the men's final, defeating Quebec's Martin Crête rink 5–4 in the final. Manitoba took a stranglehold of the game, going up 5–1 after eight after three straight stolen ends. While Quebec scored a deuce in the ninth, they needed to steal two in the tenth to tie. Quebec was sitting the two they needed after Crête threw his last rock, but Hamblin peeled one out to win the game. It was Manitoba's sixth junior men's championship, and the first since 1995.
Prince Edward Island, skipped by Suzanne Gaudet won the women's final, defeating Newfoundland and Labrador's Jennifer Guzzwell rink 6–4 in the final. The team claimed victory when Guzzwell missed a hit and stick attempt with her last shot of the game, giving PEI a steal of one. Team PEI, who hailed from the local Silver Fox club won the game in front of 2,200 fans at Summerside's Cahill Stadium. It was the second straight junior championship for Gaudet, who became the first skip since Cathy King in 1977 and 1978 to win two straight junior women's championships. Gaudet, who was in her last year of junior eligibility, finished the tournament with a career 49 victories, setting a record.
Hamblin went on to win a gold medal at the 2002 World Juniors, while Gaudet and her rink won bronze.
