Everest Curling Challenge
The Everest Curling Challenge was a made-for-TV curling tournament that was held August 25 to 27, 2017 at the Willie O'Ree Place in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The event featured a grand prize of $200,000 for the winning team, the largest curling cash prize in curling history.

The event featured eight mixed curling teams made up of the best men's and women's teams in Canada. The teams were selected in a draft by the eight skips invited to the event, Chelsea Carey, John Epping, Brad Gushue, Rachel Homan, Brad Jacobs, Jennifer Jones, Kevin Koe and Val Sweeting.  All games were televised on TSN.

A new rule was incorporated into the event; if at the end of an end, a team had a rock completely covering the button, that team would score an extra point.

In the final, Gushue and his chosen rink of Cathy Overton-Clapham, E. J. Harnden and Lisa Weagle defeated Epping and his team of Kaitlyn Lawes, Brent Laing and Rachelle Brown by a score of 6–5.

According to event organizers, the event was sold out.
