Candy Cane Clash US/Canada Tournament Series Round Up!
"Three cities, one pepperminty pickleball tour. The 2025 Candy Cane Clash brought PickleballChicks to Leesburg, Oakville, and London for festive competition, sparkly crowns, and big-hearted giving — raising $5,950 for breast cancer charities. Photos, videos, podium shots, and all the A-game moments inside."
Candy Cane Clash 2025: 3 Stops, 15 Pepperminty Courts, Sparkly Sceptors & Big-Heart Energy 🎄
The Candy Cane Clash tour is officially wrapped, and WOW — what a pepperminty, powerful, joy-packed ride it’s been. Three cities. Hundreds of rallies. Endless laughs. And Chicks showing up with their A-games and their A-vibes every single time.
From Florida sunshine to Ontario snow boots in the parking lot, you brought the energy, the kindness, the competitive sparkle, and the “heck yes, I’m here for this” spirit that makes PickleballChicks™ what it is.
💃 THANK YOU, CHICKS
To every Chick who played, cheered, laughed, hustled, hugged, high-fived, and maybe even happy-cried — thank you. These tournaments work because you bring the magic. You played hard, lifted each other higher, and proved once again that competition and community absolutely belong on the same court.
🏟️ BIG LOVE FOR OUR HOST CLUBS
Huge gratitude to the clubs that welcomed us with open arms (and fabulous courts):
- Leesburg, Florida — thank you for kicking off the series with sunshine and big holiday energy
- CourtX Oakville — always a joy, always first-class vibes
- SMASH London — bringing the heat, even in December
We’re so grateful to partner with clubs that believe in women’s sport, joyful competition, and creating space for Chicks to shine.
💖 PLAYING FOR A PURPOSE (AND MAKING IT COUNT)
Every Candy Cane Clash stop also played for something bigger than medals and sceptors — supporting breast cancer charities in each city we visit. Because when Chicks rally, we rally with heart.
Here’s where your impact landed:
- Leesburg, FL → The Beautiful Gate
- Oakville, ON → Oakville Hospital Foundation
- London, ON → Massel‑Cruickshank Breast Cancer Patient Assistance Fund
And thanks to YOU, Chicks…

We also have to give a huge, heartfelt shoutout to our Official Paddle Sponsor for the Ontario leg of the Candy Cane Clash — Le Cornichon.
Not only did Le Cornichon show up in full support of women’s pickleball (we love a brand that gets it), they brought the goods — and by goods, we mean the fabulous Pink Paddle Pack that had Chicks swooning courtside.
🎉 Two very lucky Queens are officially leveling up their game:
Cathy — Oakville winner 💕
Dawn — London winner 💕
These Le Cornichon paddles aren’t just pretty — they perform. Power, control, confidence… and yes, a whole lot of pink swagger.
If you spotted that paddle and thought, “Yep, I need that energy in my bag,” you absolutely can 👀👇

Thank you, Le Cornichon, for supporting our Chicks, our tournaments, and our pepperminty Ontario vibes. Brands that back women in sport — and do it with style — will always have a home on our courts. 💖✨
