The 1982 Pepsi Canadian Junior Men's Curling Championship was held February 21 to 27 at the Stockade in Swift Current, Saskatchewan.[1]

In the final, Ontario's John Base defeated British Columbia's Todd Gray rink, 4–3. BC was in the driver's seat having taken a 3–1 lead after eight, thanks to a two great shots by Gray, a hit and roll behind a guard on hist first, and a draw on his last. In the ninth end however, Gray was narrow on his last rock, allowing Base to draw through a port to score two, and tie the game in the third. In the tenth, Base drew to the four foot behind cover to sit one. Gray responded by throwing his draw through the house, giving up the steal and handing the Canadian Junior crown to Base and his Ontario team. Both Ontario and BC had identical 9–2 records after the round robin, but Ontario earned a bye to the final thanks to defeating BC in their round robin match.[2]
