The 2025 edition of the U19-U17-U15 Canadian National Championships was held at the 7 Chiefs Sportsplex & Jim Starlight at Centre the Tsuut’ina Nation, Alberta. Quebec clubs would come in full force, given the timing of the event with this being a Canada Games year. The venue was a familiar one as the first National Championships held after the pandemic for this age group were held here.

Welcome back to the 7 Chiefs Sportsplex!

Presence was high for Quebec Clubs for such a far trip as the Club de Lutte Lasalle, Heritage Regional High School, the Kanienkehaka Tehontatienas Mohawk Wrestling Club/HSB, the Montreal Wrestling Club NTC, les Patriotes de St-Cesaire, the Riverdale Wrestling Club, Royal West Academy and the Tritton Performance Wrestling Club all sent athletes to the event. On Day1, the U19 Boys and the U15 Boys and Girls would take to the mat. The tournament would be one of the toughest that our Quebec athletes had seen. Nevertheless, our Quebec athletes performed exceptionally well. The  results for Day 1 were as follows:
