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 icemaker,
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] The event was not held again until 2023 due to the pandemic.[3]
