Congratulations go out to all of the #1 Ranked Youth Players for the 2025-26 season (full final year-end lists):

• Junior Female – Maya Clifford-Horton (AB)
• Senior Female – Olivia Lundrigan (NL)
• Junior Male – Tobie Lundrigan (NL)

These Top Ranked Players will receive an invitation to the next World Masters. Other top ranked players may also receive invitations, depending on the number of Canada invitations received, as well as direct invites from the WDF from WDF Ranked Tournaments.  

In addition to the Provincial and National Championships, there was a total of 16 tournaments (4 more than the previous year) in 5 member bodies (AB, WO, EO, NL, QC) across Canada this season where youth players could earn NDFC Youth Ranking Points. We can't thank the tournament organizers enough for putting on these youth ranked tournaments. They are the future of our sport!
