Building Community Through Competition

Cold Hands Collective is a nonprofit organization dedicated to growing Calgary’s grassroots Super Smash Bros. scene through accessible, community-focused events. We organize high-quality tournaments for both Ultimate and Melee, with a strong emphasis on inclusivity, consistency, and player experience. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or a newcomer looking for your first bracket, our events are designed to be welcoming, well-run, and fun for all skill levels.

Beyond tournaments, we aim to foster long-term growth in the scene by supporting up-and-coming players, promoting collaboration among local organizers, and creating opportunities for community members to participate and contribute. From casual meetups to larger competitive gatherings, every CHC initiative is rooted in a commitment to building a thriving local scene where players can connect, compete, and grow—together.
