Whether you’re dusting off your curling shoes after a break or just want to sharpen your skills, this 3-hour refresher clinic is designed to get you back in the game with confidence.
Sheet 5 will be available for drop-in practice this Saturday from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM!
No sign-up needed, just come on by. If there is a line, please keep your practice to 15–20 minutes and be ready to share the sheet (max 4) with others so everyone gets a chance to throw.

What a weekend! St. John’s showed up with unbeatable hospitality, big laughs, and even bigger draws. We had an absolute blast curling, connecting, and cheering each other on. So many friendships forged on and off the ice 
Huge congrats to the B Division champs Team McAlear and the C Division winners Steal Magnolias! 
Shoutout to Sweeping Around, 50 Sheets of Gay, and Miss Xandie and the Pit Crew for some good curling and even better vibes.

The bonspiel committee is looking for a few more league members to help with the upcoming Over the Rainbow Bonspiel in January. We need league members to fill the following coordinator roles:
As a coordinator, you’ll work directly with a committee member to handle one specific part of the event’s planning and preparations this fall. This means you won’t have to attend committee meetings or be responsible for more than your part.If you are a league member and are interested in volunteering, contact bonspiel co-chairs Sean Addis or Russ Francis by emailing [email protected], or by reaching out to them on Facebook or in person.
Work is underway to lock in team compositions and set first‑round divisions. Skips will receive an email from the Membership Coordinator (Mike McGuire) by the first week of September to confirm your lineup, including members and positions.
In the meantime, check your schedules against the season calendar and submit any bye requests for Round 1 by September 11 (1 week before OPENR, our pre-season social event). Requests go to Patrick Peloquin ([email protected]).
Lastly, we have a list of enthusiastic curlers eager to join! If your team can welcome a 5th player, it’s a great way to meet someone new and help strengthen our inclusive community. Email Mike ([email protected]) to get started.
