Ont. wins The Dominion. Cornwall to host next provincial, co-host next national

The Ontario men’s and women’s teams were the winners of this afternoon’s finals of  The Dominion National Curling Club Championships, Canada’s first-ever national championship for club curlers, played at the St. George’s Golf and Country Club in Toronto.

The women’s final against Manitoba went to two extra ends, with the 9th end being blanked, and Ontario winning 6-5  with a stolen single in the 1oth. The men’s championship game also went to an extra, where Ontario recorded a triple, for a 7-4 win.

The men’s team, skipped by Robert Stafford, are from the Chatham Granite club, while the women’s rink, with skip Kelly Cochrane, are from the High Park Curling Club, in Toronto.

In the final round robin draw on Saturday, PEI’s women’s team, from the Crapaud Community Curling Club, spoiled Newfoundland and Labrador’s chance to advance to a tiebreaker round, with the Newfoundland team  stealing a single in the eighth to force an extra end. With Newfoundland lying shot rock in the back four-foot with a guard at the top of the twelve, the ninth end came down to a final shot from PEI skip Vanessa Hamming. Her weight was dead-on s her rock came to a stop right on the button, winning the game for PEI, and eliminating the need for a tiebreaker.

The PEI women ended play with a 2-4 win-loss record, while the men’s team, skipped by Louis Walsh of the Silver Fox, were winless in six starts.

The next national The Dominion will be held on PEI, Nov. 23-28 2010 at the Charlottetown and Cornwall curling clubs, with the PEI playdowns taking place March 18-21 2010 in Cornwall.

Plant running – ice still nice!

Our ice plant is up and running again, and head icemaker Lance Lowther reports that the ice remains in great shape, despite the plant being down in very mild weather. The plant’s condenser failed, and had to be replaced with a temporary one until a new one can be obtained. The Cornwall Curling Club would like to thank Lowther Refrigeration for the excellent emergency service they provided!

Ten junior women’s teams and eight junior men’s rinks, from Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and PEI are entered in the event, PEI’s longest running junior cashspiel.

Pizza Delight/Howard Johnson Dutch Inn Junior Cashspiel here this weekend

The 14th Annual Pizza Delight/Howard Johnson Dutch Inn Junior Cashspiel, gets underway Friday afternoon, and wraps up Sunday at the Cornwall Curling Club. Ten junior women’s teams and eight junior men’s rinks, from Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and PEI are entered in the event, PEI’s longest running junior cashspiel. There are no teams from Nova Scotia this year, as their junior regional playdowns are the same weekend.

Organizer Brenda MacMillan says the event’s longevity is partly due to good sponsors over the years, including Neil MacDonald of Pizza Delight, and Rekis Stutvoet of the Dutch Inn. She says they are planning a much larger event next year, for the 15th anniversary. That event will go a few weeks earlier, November 5-7, due to contention with the national The Dominion Curling Club championship being co-hosted at the Cornwall club.

Island entrants this year include seven of the eight PEI Canada Games Trials contenders — Amanda MacLean, Jenny McLean, Veronica Smith, Leah Deveau, Matthew MacLean, Tyler Smith, and Jeff Taylor, along with the host club’s Sarah Fullerton rink, winners of the recent Fall Fling junior cashspiel in Summerside, and the runner-up Anita Casey team from the Silver Fox. The Pitre brothers, Spencer and Shawn, are also skipping teams in the event. Last year’s PEI junior men’s runner-up team, skipped by Sam Ramsay of Summerside, will also be in attendance, along with last year’s UPEI women’s representatives at the CIS Curling Championships, the Sarah Clow rink. The Alex Matters foursome from the Charlottetown Curling Club round out the PEI contingent.

New Brunswick’s Jon Rennie, who was on the New Brunswick Junior Men’s championship team last year, is here skipping a new team. Other New Brunswick teams are skipped by Sarah Ronalds and Jessica Daigle. Representing Newfound.and Labrador will be the Amanda Rumboldt foursome from Stephenville.

Both the junior men’s and junior women’s divisions will play round robin draws with two pools, beginning Friday afternoon at 4 pm, and wrapping up Saturday evening. Semi-finals go Sunday morning at 8:30, with the consolation finals at 11 am on two ice sheets, and the event finals starting an hour later on the other two sheets.

Boy were we lucky…

For those of you who were following the saga of our chiller failure and subsequent repair at the start of the season, the experience of another club shows that we were VERY lucky.

On Monday, November 16th the Bridgetown Nova Scotia Curling Club suffered a catastrophic ice plant failure: the chiller had rusted out, and as a result they lost their ice and their season. Due to Department of Labour regulations, major repairs are not allowed because of  the age of the ice plant. As a result, their entire plant needs to be replaced and brought up to current building codes at a significant cost.  They are currently accepting donations, and pursuing ACOA and other grants, and their members have been taken in at other clubs for the season.

Cornwall’s young Tyler Smith rink made it 3 for 3 this afternoon – all three Cornwall teams entered in the Canada Games Pre-Trials at the Silver Fox have made it through to the Trials, Dec. 11-14 in Charlottetown! (By way of comparison, none of the four teams from Charlottetown made it through).

Smith, who is 11 years old, stole two points in the 5th end on the way to a 7-4 victory over Charlottetown’s Alex Matters rink this afternoon. Other members of the Smith foursome are Parker O’Connor, Noah O’Connor, and Tyson Smith, with coach Kevin Smith. The Tyler Smith rink joins the Veronica Smith and Jeff Taylor teams who qualified on Sunday. Congratulations to all three teams, and good luck in the Trials!

The Dominion goes this week in Toronto; Cornwall to co-host next year’s event

The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company (The Dominion) has announced that the Charlottetown and Cornwall curling clubs will host The Dominion Curling Club Championship, running from November 23-28, 2010. This will be the second year for the event, set to benefit Canadian club curlers and charities when it premiers this week in Toronto, Ontario.

Play begins Wednesday morning at the inaugural  The Dominion national curling club championship, to be played at the St. George’s Golf and Country Club in Toronto. PEI is represented by the women’s team of Vanessa Hamming, Ruth Walsh, Lindsay Moore, and Heather MacRae from the Crapaud Community Curling Club, and the men’s team of Louis Walsh, Doug Waugh, Walter Benson, and Ray Thompson from the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club in Summerside.

Funded by The Dominion, The Dominion Curling Club Championship is an annual event for men’s and women’s curling teams who have won their local club championships. The premiere Championship provides the first ever opportunity for winning club teams from across all of Canada’s provinces and territories to represent their club at the zone, provincial or territory level, and ultimately to rank nationally. Details can be found online at thedominioncurls.ca.

The Charlottetown Curling Club is a five-sheet club situated directly in Prince Edward Island’s capital. The Cornwall Curling Club is a four-sheet club located in nearby Cornwall, PEI. Together they offer a variety of programs for curlers of all ages. Once again in 2010, The Dominion Curling Club Championship will direct any profit generated to charities, including the Canadian Paraplegic Association (CPA) and developmental curling initiatives in communities across Canada.

“As our premier event approaches” says Leigh Armstrong of The Dominion, “it’s exciting to look forward to 2010 and the opportunity to work with these two exceptional clubs.”

Cornwall’s Jeff Taylor, Veronica Smith teams advance to Canada Games Trials, Tyler Smith still in hunt

After Sunday play at the PEI Canada Games Curling Pre-Trials at Summerside’s Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club, all but one of the qualifiers for the Trials, December 11-14 in Charlottetown, have been determined. Cornwall’s Jeff Taylor and Veronica Smith teams have both made it, and the Tyler Smith foursome are in contention for the final junior men’s spot.

In the six team round robin Junior Men’s section, three teams finished with identical 3-2 win-loss records and grabbed the first three qualifying spots. These teams are the Tony Nabuurs rink from Montague, Cornwall’s Jeff Taylor foursome, and the Matthew MacLean team from the Maple Leaf Curling Club in O’Leary. In Sunday’s final round robin draw, Taylor and his team beat their Cornwall clubmates, skipped by 11 year old Tyler Smith, by a 6-2 score. MacLean defeated Alex Matters of Charlottetown 5-2, stealing a deuce in the final end.

Nabuurs was already qualified going into Sunday play, with a 3-1 record, and lost his Sunday contest 7-5 to the Shawn Pitre
team from the Western Community Curling Club in Alberton. This resulted in three teams having identical 2-3 round robin
records, forcing two tiebreaker rounds, as PEI Curling Association rules dictate that no team may be eliminated solely on
win-loss records. The Matters and Pitre rinks squared off in the first tiebreaker on Sunday afternoon, with Matters
eliminating Pitre with an 8-3 win. Matters now plays Cornwall’s Smith in the second tiebreaker, Monday at 2 pm, with the
winner advancing to the Trials in Charlottetown.

All four qualifiers have been determined in the eight team triple-knockout junior women’s section. The Amanda MacLean rink
from O’Leary’s Maple Leaf Club went undefeated in the competition, grabbing the first qualifying spot for the Trials by
doubling the Jenny McLean foursome from the host Silver Fox club by a 6-3 score on Saturday. McLean went on to win the
second qualifier, 7-5 over Leah Deveau of Montague, on Sunday morning. Going into her final shot, McLean was
facing two Deveau counters, one of which was touching the button. She made a clutch draw to the button, aided greatly by
her sweepers, outcounting the opposing rock by a small margin to pick up the win.

The final two qualifiers were decided in the 2 pm draw on Sunday, with Cornwall’s Veronica Smith rink beating the Kim
Dunbar foursome from Charlottetown by a 7-2 score. The final qualifying spot went to Montague’s Deveau, who came back from her earlier loss to McLean with a decisive 9-3 victory over Emily Keen of Charlottetown.

The eventual winners of the Selection Trials in Charlottetown next month will advance to the Canada Games, February 11-27, 2011 in Halifax, at the Mayflower Curling Club.

Here are the Qualifying Teams (skip to lead, coach-Club). Photos will follow later.

Junior Women’s:

#1 Amanda MacLean, Kassinda Bulger, Emily Gray, Aleya Quilty, coaches Glen MacLean/Shelley Gray-Maple Leaf Curling Club (O’Leary)
#2 Jenny McLean, Meaghan MacDonald, Rachael Gardiner, Lauren MacFadyen, coach Don Vickerson-Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club (Summerside)
#3 Veronica Smith, Katie Fullerton, Sabrina Smith, Chloe McCloskey, coaches Sarah Fullerton/Paul Smith-Cornwall Curling Club

#4 To be determined in a tiebreaker Monday at 2 pm between the following teams:

Amanda MacLean rink 1st qualifer at Canada Games pre-Trials, tiebreakers loom for jr. men

Two days of play are complete at the PEI Canada Games curling pre-Trials at the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club in Summerside. Four teams from both the junior women’s and junior men’s divisions will advance to the Trials Dec. 11-14 at the Charlottetown Curling Club. The Amanda MacLean rink from the Maple Leaf Curling Club in O’Leary was the first team to qualify for the Trials, doubling the Jenny McLean foursome from the host Silver Fox club by a 6-3 score Saturday morning in the A section of the eight team triple-knockout junior women’s event.  Other members of the Amanda MacLean rink are Kassinda Bulger, Emily Gray, and Aleya Quilty, with coaches Glen MacLean and Shelley Gray.

The Jenny McLean foursome get another chance to qualify, in the 10 am draw on Sunday, when they face Montague’s Leah Deveau foursome in the B division final. The Deveau team beat Cornwall’s Veronica Smith rink by a 6-3 score Saturday afternoon to advance to the qualifer game.

There will be two qualifiers from the C division, with the Smith rink playing the Kim Dunbar foursome from Charlottetown, and Charlottetown’s Emily Keen team facing the loser of the B qualifier between McLean and Deveau. These games go at 2 pm Sunday.

Keen dropped to the C division by losing 8-5 to  Smith  on Saturday morning, and then had a bye to the qualifer game, as Fallon Arsenault of Summerside had dropped out of the event due to illness. Dunbar edged Charlottetown clubmate Megan Davies by an 8-7 score to advance to her C qualifier.

In the six team round robin junior men’s section,  the Tony Nabuurs rink from Montague are assured of qualifying for the trials, as, with just one round robin draw left, they are the only team with three wins. Playing with Nabuurs are Kyle Hughes, Taylor McInnis, and Chandler Matheson, with coach Arny Nabuurs.  There are four teams at 2-2, with Jeff Taylor playing Cornwall clubmate Tyler Smith, and Alex Matters of Charlottetown taking on Matthew MacLean of O’Leary’s Maple Leaf club at 10 am Sunday. The winners of these two games are also assured of qualifying spots. Nabuurs takes on Shawn Pitre of Alberton’s Western Community Club in the other game. Pitre is at 1-3. Tiebreakers will be required for the final spot, as at least two teams will have 2-3 records, and PEICA rules dictate that no team may be eliminated solely on win-loss records. If Pitre loses against Nabuurs tomorrow, there will be one tiebreaker round, at 2 pm. If he wins, he will also have a 2-3 record, necessitating a second tiebreaker round, Monday at 2 pm.

The eventual winner of the Trials in Charlottetown will advance to the Canada Games, February 11-27 in Halifax.
