AMJ Campbell Shorty Jenkins Classic

The AMJ Campbell Shorty Jenkins Classic (formerly known as the M&M Meat Shops Shorty Jenkins Classic, CIBC Trust Shorty Jenkins Classic and just the Shorty Jenkins Classic) is an annual curling tournament, held in September at the Cornwall Curling Centre in Cornwall, Ontario and sponsored by AMJ Campbell Van Lines. It is one of the first curling tournaments of the World Curling Tour season. The tournament is held in honour of the famous ice-maker, Shorty Jenkins. The total purse for the men's event is $59,000 and $29,500 for the women's. The event was held in Brockville, Ontario until 2015 when it was moved down the Saint Lawrence to Cornwall.

The event was created in 1996 by Jenkins and Gord McCrady to "repay the Brockville Country Club for funds used to buy a new compressor, chiller and condenser."[1] The following year a women's event was added.

The Shorty Jenkins Classic scheduled for September 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Notes
  1. Hart was skipping in place of Glenn Howard, who was injured.
  2. Nichols was skipping in place of Brad Gushue, who was injured.
gollark: Probably, but that would still be two hours a day or week or something of backups tying up the entire internet connection.
gollark: I mean, I would want to do backups often, and encrypted ones, which would prevent deduplication or whatever.
gollark: While saturating basically all of the available upload, which would annoy everyone.
gollark: But on my internet connection it'd still take 2 hours to copy that off to the interweb.
gollark: I only have something like 60GB of vaguely important data, and 5GB I couldn't replace easily.
