Monday April 27th 2026
The U19-U17-U55 Canadian National Championships took place in Grand Prairie, Alberta from April 24th to April 26th at the Get Well Centre. This is the largest competition in the country as athletes converge from all over, in the hopes of winning the tournament. With the scale of competition, placing in the Top 6 is difficult, much less medalling. This year, Quebec clubs that made the trip were the Club de Lutte Lasalle, Heritage Regional High School, the Kanienkehaka Tehontatie:nas Mohawk Wrestling Club/HSB, the Kartal Wrestling Club, Lower Canada College, the Montreal Wrestling Club NTC, les Patriotes de St-Cesaire, the Riverdale Wrestling Club, the Tritton Performance Wrestling Club and the YMHA.
Another great venue
On Day 1, the U19 Girls along with the U17 Boys and Girls would kick off the competition with the following results:
