Superleague and Competitive League Meetings

This year the Superleague will be split into two different leagues.  The Superleague will be a high-stakes league with a league fee of $800 (suggested).  This league will run only until mid-February and will include a pay-per-win system as well as playoffs.  This league will rotate between 6:00 and 8:00pm.

There will be a meeting to discuss these changes and sign up for the league on Wednesday October 7 at 6:00pm at the club. 


The second league will also be a Competitive league, but will have a smaller league fee of $300 (suggested).  The league fee will be paid out entirely in a pay-per-win system to discourage frequent game cancellations.  This league will run from October to April, split into two round-robin sessions and playoffs.   

There will be a meeting to discuss these changes and sign up for this league on Thursday October 8 at 6:00pm at the club. 

If you have any questions about these leagues please call Rob at the club at 892-7467.

Jet Ice

This year we will be using the Jet Ice system to purify the water we use to make the ice and pebble. This change will enable us to make the ice in less time at the beginning of the year and will hopefully improve playing later in the year by eliminating more impurities present in the city water we use to make ice.

Ice making starts Thursday September 24th. We're expecting the ice to be in by October 6th.

Construction at the Club

There'll be a few physical changes when curlers return this fall. 

The manager's office and VLT area is being renovated so there will be a small downstairs kitchen.

The manager's office will now be behind the bar.

Here are couple of pictures of the renovations...



Work is also being done on the roof over the ice shed. Work will start soon on the roof over the main part of the club.
