The Inaugural Championship
One day. One crown. Here's the first look at Forged in the North.
Forged in the North is a first-year championship built to become a Northwest Montana tradition — boys and girls youth wrestlers, forged on the mats over one unforgettable December day. Division winners take the crown. The best of the day are handed a sword.
An epic, lit podium and a sword ceremony built for the moment. This is the day families drive home talking about.
Boys and girls divisions across all our youth age groups. Bring the whole team.
Experienced officials, full event insurance, and on-site medical staff.
Twelve mats running waved sessions, so families can plan their day.
We didn't design participation trophies. We designed a reason to leave everything on the mat.
Every division champion is crowned. Not handed a medal — crowned.
Design renderings shown. Final crowns are in production and may vary.
Hand-finished steel, copper on the peaks. King and Queen of the North, one for every division champion.
The Outstanding Wrestlers each take home Winter's Edge — not just a sword, but a hand-forged blade earned by the best on the mat.
Placewinners through sixth take home custom medals in every division.
Top clubs earn team hardware — bring your squad and battle for the banner.
Registration is open. Entries are $45 through the pre-registration deadline, $65 at the door. Weight classes post as brackets fill — register your wrestler here.
Year One is the ground floor. Founding sponsors get premier billing on the podium backdrop, the mats, our marketing, and the sword ceremony itself — in front of a full day of families. Title, mat, division, and banner packages available.
