The 2018 Boston Pizza Cup was held 31 January to 4 February at the Grant Fuhr Arena in Spruce Grove, Alberta. The winning Brendan Bottcher rink represented Alberta at the 2018 Tim Hortons Brier in Regina, Saskatchewan.[1]

The semifinal and final games were broadcast on Sportsnet One.[2]

Qualification Method

[edit | edit source]

Twelve teams qualified for the provincial tournament through several methods. The qualification process is as follows:

Qualification method Berths Qualifying team
Defending Champions 11 Brendan Bottcher[1]
Kevin Koe1
Highest-ranked team on CTRS 1 Aaron Sluchinski
ACF bonspiel points 21 Karsten Sturmay
Ted Appelman
Peace Qualifier 2 Scott Webb
Daylan Vavrek
Northern Qualifier 3 Thomas Usselman
Mike Hutchings
Charley Thomas
Southern Qualifier 3 Scott Garnett
Kevin Park
Jeremy Harty
  1. ^ Because he had competed as Team Canada in the 2017 Tim Hortons Brier, Kevin Koe would also have been eligible for direct entry to the 2018 Boston Pizza Cup as a past provincial/national champion. Had Koe entered, only one team would have qualified via ACF bonspiel points. However, Koe's team withdrew from the 2018 Boston Pizza Cup after qualifying to represent Canada in the 2018 Winter Olympics.
