2025 Saville Shootout

The 2025 edition of the Saville Shootout was held from September 5 to 7 at the Saville Community Sports Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. The event was held in a round robin format with a $25,000 purse on both the men's and women's sides.

Team Cameron de Jong won the men's event, defeating fellow BC rink Matthew Blandford 7–1 in the final. The de Jong rink, with Sterling Middleton, Alex Horvath and Corey Chester finished with a 6–1 record in their first event as a new team, eliminating Norway's Andreas Hårstad in the quarterfinals and the United States' Scott Dunnam in the semifinals. Team Blandford, meanwhile, went 3–1 in the round robin before playoff wins over Saskatchewan's Dustin Kalthoff and Alberta's Johnson Tao. The playoff field was rounded out by the Netherlands' Wouter Gösgens and Alberta's Evan van Amsterdam who both lost out in the quarterfinals.

In the women's final, world number six ranked Manitoba's Kerri Einarson shutout world number five ranked South Korea's Gim Eun-ji in a battle of unbeaten teams. It was the first event of the season for the Einarson squad which saw the return of second Shannon Birchard after a knee injury kept her from competing during the 2024–25 season. After a 4–0 round robin record, the Gimli based team beat South Korea's Park You-been in the quarterfinals and then eliminated Minnesota's Tabitha Peterson in the semis. Team Gim had a similar path to the final with wins over Edmonton's Gracelyn Richards and Serena Gray-Withers in the playoffs. Wang Rui and Kaitlyn Lawes rounded out the playoff field of eight.
