Red & Yellow Wrap Up

The first ever Red & Yellow was a huge success – and not just because the Yellow team WON!

The Red & Yellow actually began on March 16th with our junior curlers playing their portion and continued throughout the month with our novice and stick curlers participating just before the closing spiel began last Friday.

The closing spiel was full with 24 teams for each colour and the scores going back and forth throughout the event.

As the final draw was being played and with only a handful of rocks remaining both teams had a mathematical chance to win – especially after one of the Red teams won a $21,000 skin to end the game.

But the rest of the last rocks went Yellow’s way as they secured a 51,000 point win!

The top scoring team of the event, with an impressive 70,000 points, was Yellow #7 which included Paul Neima, John Clark, Amanda MacIntosh, and Mary Whalley.  (NOTE: John’s luck was running strong on Saturday as he also won the 50/50 that day!)

Just behind them, with 69,000 points, was Red #2 with Paul Durant, Eugene Murphy, Leonard Cudmore, and Kim Thomson.

The third place team, with 67,000 points, was Red #1 comprised of Roger DesRoches, Garth Nicholson, Carlene Peters, and Art O’Malley.

The 4th place team, with 59,000 points, was Yellow #9 with Cody Whynot, Connor MacEwen, Brittany Dugal, and Chris MacDougall.

The Lucky Loonie winners were  Red #5!

Best dressed on Team Red was Gordon Matthews, with the runner up being Hans Wicki.

Best dressed on Team Yellow was Alan Mason, with the runner up being Paul Neima.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the banquet meal provided by Sizzler BBQ and during the banquet the club recognized Roy Coffin with the Founders Award for Volunteer of the Year at the club.  Congrats to Roy on his well deserved recognition.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make the event go so smoothly and for all those who participated – what a fun way to end a wonderful season.

Red takes lead into Saturday

Friday wound up being a great day for the Red team.

They narrowly won the 10,000 point Red & Yellow Challenge bonus points and are currently sitting 44,000 points in the lead – but the points values go up each round tomorrow so the games tomorrow will be intense.

Can Red maintain their lead to take a 2nd straight victory, or will newly rebranded Yellow make an exciting comeback?

An Ode to Whimsy (And a Fond Farewell to Blue)

An Ode to Whimsy (And a Fond Farewell to Blue) 

Some rocks are still red, 
In Cornwall, that’s true; 
Some new stones are yellow,  
But . . . they’ll forever be blue. 

—Anonymous (Probably some Colour-Blind Club Manager) 

Gone but not forgotton: Cornwall Curling Club manager Travis Jones is sad to say goodbye to his treasured blue stones on the eve of the club’s annual closing bonspiel. (Bill McGuire photo)

By Bill McGuire, 
Public Relations Chair, 
Cornwall Curling Club 

Ah, tradition. It warms the heart, like a piping-hot coffee on a brisk PEI morning or a lucky curling sweater that hasn’t been washed in years (for superstitious reasons, of course). And yet, change comes for us all. In this case, it arrived from Scotland, wrapped in mystery, legend, and bubble wrap. 

Yes, folks, the great Cornwall Curling Club rock transition of 2024-2025 is complete, and the annual club-closing bonspiel is about to take place under a new banner: Red & Yellow. Gone are the days of Red vs. Blue—gone but not forgotten, especially by those diehard Team Blue curlers who now find themselves scrambling to update their wardrobes. 

For years, they lovingly collected blue tuques, blue scarves, blue sweaters, and even, in some cases, blue curling pants (which we all agreed was a bold fashion choice). But now? Now they must embrace the sunshine-bright glow of Yellow. And let’s be honest—some of them are taking it about as well as a bad pick on the final shot of an extra-end game. 

[Let us all pause for a brief moment of silence and remembrance for Paul Neima’s tickle trunk]

The Battle of the Bonspiel Begins 

This weekend marks the first-ever Red & Yellow Closing Bonspiel, where the newly minted Yellow faction will try to channel their inner golden warriors and take on the steadfast Reds, who are undoubtedly feeling rather smug about maintaining their colour continuity (and riding the high of last year’s victory). 

The event is sold out, the curling will be fierce, the competition legendary, and the volume of team-coordinated outfits truly astonishing. Teams are encouraged (nay, required!) to dress in their designated colour, which means there will be a sea of red and yellow sweeping across the ice, looking less like a curling club and more like a fast-food chain’s mascot convention. 

Club manager Travis Jones, a hardcore Team Blue devotee, is said to be taking the transition particularly hard. After several boisterous years of leading the charge for Team Blue, some say he’s been spotted late at night whispering words of encouragement to the now-retired blue stones, assuring them they will always be winners in his heart. Others claim he’s petitioning to have them repurposed as club décor, museum pieces, or—if all else fails—doorstops at Government House or for the renovated Province House.  

The Spirit of the Spiel 

The transition may have been a shock, but the spirit of the event remains unchanged. The Red & Yellow is still about friendly competition, club camaraderie, and, of course, an excuse to eat, drink, and be merry. (Let’s be honest: curling is really just a warm-up for the banquet.) 

This year’s event will feature: 

  • Junior and Stick Curling divisions are already in full swing, ensuring everyone gets a chance to contribute to their team’s overall score. 
  • The Red & Yellow Fundraising Challenge, where donations continue to pour in faster than an overenthusiastic lead throwing their first rock. 
  • Friday night and all-day Saturday curling action, culminating in a dramatic finale where the victorious team will be showered with cheers, accolades, and possibly a few leftovers from the early afternoon banquet. 

And let’s not forget the all-important Bragging Rights for next season, which the winning team will recount at every opportunity for the next season, while the losing side graciously nods and pretends to be happy for them (until next year, when revenge will undoubtedly be plotted). 

A Look Back (With a Tear and a Chuckle) 

Last year, Red emerged victorious, breaking Team Blue’s two-year winning streak in their final hours. Some call it poetic justice, others call it sabotage, but regardless, it made the farewell to Blue even harder to bear. Now, with allegiances shifted and old rivalries rebranded, we step into a bold new era. 

Some of the remaining, blue-handled rocks, after more than 42 years of faithful service, now sit along the wall—retired, respected, reduced in weight, and probably feeling a little salty about their abrupt dismissal. But as history teaches us, the game goes on. And so, too, must we. 

Cornwall’s Curling Season: A Year in Review 

As we prepare to bring the season to a close, it’s worth reflecting on what a remarkable year it has been. Cornwall continues to be a vibrant hub of curling activity, boasting nearly 400 curlers—a number that more than doubles any other curling club on the Island. 

Highlights from this past season include: 

  • The Grand Slam of Curling, where late last September and early October, we welcomed almost 50 international teams for practice, raised funds for the club, and turned Cornwall into a curling epicenter. 
  • The debut of our new stones in mid-October, glistening and freshly polished after being quarried in Scotland. Red handles were transferred to half of them; while the blue handles gave way to newly-branded yellow ones. 
  • An action-packed bonspiel calendar, ensuring that weekends were never dull and that no one left the club without at least one ridiculous team name to their credit. 
  • A strong commitment to Little Rockers, Novice and Junior curling, guaranteeing a solid future for the club and the next generation. 
  • A busy daytime and nighttime curling schedule kept the club busy every Monday to Friday. 

And so, as the final rocks slide down the ice this weekend, as the last celebratory beverage is raised in the clubhouse, and as the echoes of laughter and friendly ribbing fade into the night, we close the doors on another fantastic season at the Cornwall Curling Club. 

Red & Yellow may be new, but the spirit of competition, camaraderie, and curling chaos remains the same. 

Now, let’s get out there, throw some stones, and make some memories. (And if you’re one of those former Team Blue curlers—maybe pick up a yellow scarf at Price Mart.)

Our new benches now have cushioned seats thanks to the hard work and craftsmanship of Alan Mason!

He heard some people mention it was cold to sit on the wood by itself and made these amazing cushioned seats. 

I can confirm they are very comfortable.

I can also confirm that Alan refused to lay across one of them and strike a pose for next season’s club calendar LOL!

3-Week Round Three set to go for Wed. Evening Ladder League

Round 2 of the Wednesday Evening Ladder League wrapped up on March 5, and again featured lots of close games between evenly-matched teams. There was one night (Jan. 29) with weather that kept some teams at home. As there are only three weeks left in the season, and we want to give all teams as much play as possible, we will declare winners based on the current standings, as factoring in the missing games would not affect which teams move up or down. All teams will either play in all of the last three weeks, or have a bye in one of the weeks.

Looking at the “A” pool, the Joe Callaghan and Cody Whynot squads both finished with 6 wins and both played the weather-affected week, while the next teams had only 4 wins, and therefore wouldn’t win the round, even if the week they missed was factored in. Whynot beat Callaghan 6-2 in their round-robin encounter to win the round.

Moving back down the ladder to the “B” pool will be the Greg Groves rink with 2 wins, along with the Hank Kamphuis foursome with 1 win and a not-played for the weather-affected night. The Mark MacDonald team had the bye on that night and finished with 3 wins, and will be the third rink to descend the ladder to the B pool.

In the “B” Pool, the Doug Callin team had six wins, while the Christopher Griffin team had six or seven (score sheet not clear on this, and their opponent didn’t mark theirs). Both teams will be moving up to the “A” pool for the abbreviated final round. As Callin beat Griffin in their round robin play, but Griffin didn’t play on the “weather” night, we’ll declare them tied for “B” pool champs for Round Two, and they’ll both be moving up to the “A” Pool.

Also in “B”, the Jenine Bodner squad had five or six wins (neither they nor their opponent marked the score for the last week) and the Veronica Pater squad reeled off five victories, but didn’t play on the weather-affected evening (against Team Griffin). Since Bodner beat Pater in their game, we’ll award the remaining spot in the “A” pool to Team Bodner.

Here are the pools for the 3-week final round:

A Pool B Pool
A1-Whynot B1-MacDonald
A2-Callaghan B2-Groves
A3-Watts B3-Kamphuis
A4-Arsenault B4-Milligan
A5-Hanzl B5-Pater
A6-Boswall B6-Stewart
A7-Callin B7-Deziel
A8-Griffin B8-Neima
A9-Bodner B9-Beaton

Here is the draw and schedule for Round Three:

PLEASE NOTE: The “B” Pool gets the late draw the first week of Round Three, as they had the early draw the last week of Round One. IF you have changed pools, please take note of your  draw time as you will be playing at the same time as you did in the last week of Round Two

Founders Award Nominations for Volunteer of the Year are Now Open!

Have you seen someone do an outstanding job volunteering at the Cornwall Curling Club this season? If so, please tell us about it!

The Cornwall Curling Club acknowledges and recognises the immeasurable contributions volunteers make to the Club continually throughout the season. The dedication of our membership is what has been, and continues to be, the driving force behind the success of our Club. Without these volunteers, the Club would not be what it is today.

To recognize the amazing efforts of our members, we created an annual award called the “Founders Award” for Volunteer of the Year at the Cornwall Curling Club. This award is presented to an outstanding, exceptional and dedicated member of the Cornwall Curling Club at the Annual General Meeting.

The Cornwall Curling Club started because of the dedication and commitment of the founding members who believed in the dream of having a curling club in Cornwall. Today, the success of the club is largely based on the same desires of having a welcoming, reputable, and enjoyable curling club.

Every year, members of the curling club donate their time in many ways and it does not go unnoticed. There is a significant amount of time and effort dedicated to preparing the club for opening, special events, league play, general maintenance and much more! The outstanding and much appreciated efforts of our membership is acknowledged by the Board of Directors by the creation of the Founders Award.

Members of the Cornwall Curling Club are encouraged to nominate their fellow deserving club mates for the Founders Award!

The nomination criteria include:

  • Must be a Cornwall Curling Club member for the 2024-2025 season, in good standing.
  • No paid employees can be nominated.
  • No Board of Director members can be nominated.

To nominate a fellow member, please send an email or letter to manager@cornwallcurling.com which contains the name of the nominee and a brief description of their contribution to the Cornwall Curling Club. 

The deadline to nominate is Friday, March 21st.

The winner will be announced at the Red & Yellow Banquet on March 29th at 1:30pm.

As always, if you have any questions please feel free to contact myself or any other member of the Board of Directors.

Kindly,
Sue Pollard (Volunteer Chair) & the Board of Directors

Another happy member!

I hear her dad reminded Kellie-Lynn Younker to sign in for the 50/50 on their way out the door on Thursday.  It was a good thing, as her name was drawn and she is the winner of $469!

Red & Yellow Bonspiel CHALLENGE!

We believe that as a social organization, the curling club brings great value to the community.  It is a place not only to get exercise to remain healthy and stay engaged mentally, but to make connections with the community.

We would like to take that community spirit one step further this year with our annual closing spiel by doing something together to Pay It Forward to the community.

With that in mind we are issuing the Red & Yellow Challenge!

Each member of the Cornwall Curling Club is encouraged to donate blood and/or time and/or a monetary donation through the Canadian Blood Services or donate time and/or a monetary donation to the Canadian Cancer Society from now until the Red & Yellow Bonspiel.

Their logos tie in great with the Red & Yellow colours – but more importantly, both organizations provide great services to our community. 

To participate, simply book your blood donation at: BLOOD.CA

You can make contact with the Canadian Blood Services at: (888) 236-6283

You can donate money to the Canadian Cancer Society at:  CANCER.CA

You can make contact with the PEI branch of the Canadian Cancer Society at: (902) 566-4007

The team with the most individuals volunteering will receive a 10,000 point bonus on their cumulative score for the Red & Yellow Bonspiel.  

Once you have given your donation of blood, time, or money simply email the club manager or mark it on the list on the bulletin board at the club. 

NOTES:

  • It doesn’t matter if you are Red Team or Yellow Team – you can donate to EITHER service and it count for your team, because ultimately we are all in this together!
  • You may select a community organization that is near and dear to you as well instead of the proposed options. 
  • You do NOT have to actually play in the Red & Yellow Bonspiel this year to participate.
  • If you don’t know which team you are on, please contact the manager.
  • We are using the honour system.
  • Notification that you have donated must be received by the afternoon of Friday, March 28th

This recent article shows the urgent need for blood donations in our province: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-charlottetown-blood-donations-needed-1.7465849

On a personal note, I sat in a hospital room late at night as a blood transfusion from a blood donor was given to my daughter to keep her alive as she fought blood cancer.  You cannot begin to fathom how grateful we were in that moment that someone took the time to donate blood.
