The 2005 Strauss Canada Cup of Curling was held March 15–20, 2005, at Sport Mart Place in Kamloops , British Columbia . The winning teams received berths into the 2005 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials .[1]
Future Olympic champion Kevin Martin won the men's event,[2] Shannon Kleibrink won the women's event, which aided her path to reach the Olympics. She had already qualified for the Trials, so the runner-up Jan Betker rink earned a berth.[3]
The total purse for the event was $180,000. Martin's team won $37,750, while Team Kleibrink took home $37,250.
While it was the third edition of the Canada Cup, the 2005 event was the first to be a part of Curling Canada 's Season of Champions programme.[4]
