Cornwall, ON – The City of Cornwall is gearing up to host the 48th Annual Ontario Broomball Championships from March 20 to 22, 2026. Athletes and coaches are scheduled to arrive on March 19th for the premier provincial tournament.

The event will feature 45 teams competing across seven divisions: Elite Men, Elite Women, Intermediate Men, Intermediate Women, Masters Men, Masters Ladies, and CoEd. The tournament will use a challenging double knockout format.

Benson Centre to Serve as Exclusive Venue
For the first time, the championships will be held entirely at the Benson Centre, utilizing all three ice pads Friday and Saturday and two on Sunday. This centralized approach eliminates the need for travel between arenas, setting a new standard for future tournaments. Organizers have secured 90 hours of floor time and arranged accommodations for more than 300 hotel rooms nightly.

“We are excited to showcase the Benson Centre and aim for the 2026 Championships to become the gold standard in the future,” a spokesperson stated.

Elite-Level Competition Expected
The Ottawa Nationals, reigning Canadian champions, will compete in the Elite Men’s division. Additionally, several players from the Helicopter team that captured the 2024 World Championship in France will participate across various teams, ensuring an exceptional level of play.

Admission Information
Passes will be available at the Benson Centre during Thursday registration:

  • Daily Pass: $10
  • Three-Day Pass: $20

Cornwall looks forward to welcoming athletes, coaches, and fans for this celebrated sporting tradition.
