{{Short description|Curling tournament held in Canada}}
The '''Canadian Olympic Curling Trials''', marketed from 2009 through 2017 as the '''Roar of the Rings''', are a quadrennial tournament held by [[Curling Canada]] that determines the Canadian men's and women's representatives for [[curling at the Winter Olympics]]. The system of qualification for the Curling Trials varies for each event, and can be quite complicated. One main reason for an Olympic qualifying event apart from the national championships ([[Tim Hortons Brier|The Brier]] and the [[Scotties Tournament of Hearts|Scotties]]) is that provincial residency rules do not apply to the Olympic team. Curling was added to the Olympic programme in 1998, and a Canadian Olympic Trials have been held the year prior since 1997.

There were also Olympic Trials held in 1987 for the [[Curling at the 1988 Winter Olympics|curling demonstration event]] at the [[1988 Winter Olympics]]. The 1987 Trials were known as the '''Labatt National Curling Trials''' and were held April 19–25, 1987 in Calgary, the same site of the 1988 Winter Olympics. [[Linda Moore]] would skip the women's winning team and [[Ed Lukowich]] skipped the men's winner.

There were no trials for the [[1992 Winter Olympics]] [[Curling at the 1992 Winter Olympics|curling demonstration event]]. The winner of the [[1991 Scott Tournament of Hearts]] ([[Julie Skinner|Julie Sutton]]) and the [[1991 Labatt Brier]] ([[Kevin Martin (curler)|Kevin Martin]]) got to represent Canada at the event.
