# 2022 SaskTel Tankard

The 2022 SaskTel Tankard, the provincial men's curling championship for Saskatchewan, was held from February 9 to February 13 at the Whitewood Curling Club in Whitewood, Saskatchewan. The winning Colton Flasch rink represented Saskatchewan at the 2022 Tim Hortons Brier in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada's national men's curling championship.
The event was originally going to be played at the Cooperators Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan but was moved to Whitewood due to COVID-19 concerns. The event was awarded to Regina in July 2021, after the 2021 event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Saskatchewan. Its the second time Whitewood has hosted the Tankard. It had previously held it in 2019.
