The 2024 Henderson Metal Fall Classic was held from October 17 to 20 at the YNCU Curling Centre in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.^[1] The event was held in a triple-knockout format with a purse of $106,000.^[2]

For a second year in a row, the event was won by Manitoba's Matt Dunstone rink who defeated Switzerland's Marco Hösli 7–5 in an extra end final.^[3] The Dunstone rink, which includes B. J. Neufeld, Colton Lott and Ryan Harnden led by two in the eighth end before the Swiss tied the game, forcing a ninth end. On his final stone, Dunstone executed a short runback for the win. Both teams qualified for the playoffs through the A bracket with 4–0 records to reach the playoffs. Team Dunstone then won 6–5 over John Epping in the quarterfinals and 9–2 over Joël Retornaz in the semifinals. For Team Hösli, they downed a pair of Canadian teams in Reid Carruthers and Mike McEwen to reach the championship game. Brad Gushue and Mark Kean also qualified for the playoffs but lost in the quarterfinals.

Notably, the event featured many revised lineups following the frenzy of Canadian men's lineup changes throughout early October.^[4] Team Gushue, who parted ways with E. J. Harnden on October 10, played with spare Adam Casey while their new second Brendan Bottcher was competing in the Saville Mixed Doubles Classic with Rachel Homan. Team Koe, who cut Jacques Gauthier in late September, only played with three players while their new second Aaron Sluchinski was also competing in Edmonton. Also, second Mark Fenner returned to the Korey Dropkin lineup after not playing in the 2024 Tour Challenge due to injury. He played lead while Thomas Howell moved up to second.

All games from the event were streamed by Curling Stadium, a streaming service provided by CurlingZone. All of the games were streamed on CurlingZone's YouTube page.^[5]
