Edmonton Police Service (EPS) Constable Tristain Hoath has officially been named Canada’s Strongest Man after a dominant performance at the 2025 Canada’s Strongest Man competition in Saint-Pamphile, Quebec.
The 33-year-old constable, who works in the EPS’s Southeast Branch, outpaced 12 other top athletes from across the country to secure the coveted title. Hoath finished the competition with a commanding score of 74.5 out of a possible 78 points, easily outdistancing his nearest competitors.
The two-day event, which is a key qualifier for the World’s Strongest Man competition, tested athletes’ limits across six grueling events: a max log lift, frame carry, sandbag toss, car deadlift, truck pull, and the legendary Atlas Stones. Hoath’s victory further solidifies his reputation as a formidable force in the strongman world, a sport he was inspired to pursue after watching the World’s Strongest Man events with his late father.
This latest achievement is a significant milestone for Hoath, who has been recognized globally for his strength. An imposing figure at 6’3″ and more than 300 pounds, he has previously been hailed as “Canada’s strongest cop” and has competed on the international stage, finishing fifth in the 2024 World’s Strongest Man competition.
The Edmonton Police Service has expressed strong support for Hoath’s athletic pursuits, recognizing his dedication and the positive attention he brings to the force. As Canada’s Strongest Man, Hoath now sets his sights on the pinnacle of the sport, aiming for a podium finish at the World’s Strongest Man competition.
