The 2015 Pinty's All-Star Curling Skins Game was held from January 16 to 18 at The Fenlands Banff Recreation Centre in Banff, Alberta.
The competition format in this edition of the TSN Skins Game reverts to the format used prior to 2013, in which four teams will play a simple knockout bracket to determine the winner. In addition, a women's event was added to the TSN Skins Game for the first time since 2003.
Men
Team Glenn Howard was originally invited, but opted to compete in the Challenge Round for the 2015 Ontario Tankard after failing to advance through the regional qualifier. Since the challenge round will be held on the same weekend as the TSN Skins game, Team McEwen replaced Team Howard.[1]
