For those not aware, there are some exciting changes to the Club Curling Championships on PEI this season.
Beginning this season, CurlPEI is running a three-year pilot to expand the Provincial Club Curling Championships with each PEI club able to send TWO teams to the provincial event in both the men’s and women’s divisions.
Additionally, the clubs are working together to host their individual Club Championship Weekends on the same weekend.
The Cornwall Curling Club’s Club Championship will be held from Friday, February 14th through Sunday, February 16th.
The winners and runners-up in both the men’s and women’s divisions will advance to the PEI Club Curling Championship to be hosted here at Cornwall from March 5th through March 9th.
The format for our club event will be based on number of registrations in each division. The winning team’s provincial registration will be paid by the club.
The cost to enter the event is $160/team and the registration deadline is Friday, January 24th.
You can register at the club or by emailing the club manager.
NOTE: Please be sure to check the latest Curling Canada Curling Club Eligibility Guidelines for the 2025 National Championship to ensure your team is eligible. That document is available HERE
Teams Myers, Pater, and Beaton are at the Junior Christmas Spiel at the Gage Curling Club in Oromocto, NB this weekend and sent us this picture!
Happy curling!
Over the past few seasons several of our junior teams have enjoyed the pleasure of traveling throughout the Maritimes to participate in mid to later season three-day junior spiels and have asked us to start our own and we are happy to announce we will begin an annual junior bonspiel called the Winter Jam beginning in January 2025.
This year’s event is scheduled for January 17th-19th.
The event will cost $250/team and will include: three guaranteed games, potential to play in the playoff round, cash prizes for the top three finishers (amounts depend on registration numbers), an event t-shirt, and a Saturday evening social event that will include a talent show and on-ice trick shot competition.
We will have space for up to 16 teams and is open to U20 and below.
Registration is now open at http://cornwall.curling.io/en/competitions
For questions, please contact me at manager@cornwallcurling.com.
The club is happy to be hosting an event with Bruce Densmore from the Canadian Stick Curling Association to train individuals to do training for new stick curlers on Saturday, December 14th.
The program will begin at 9am for the morning group, lunch will be served at noon, and the afternoon group session will begin at 1pm.
Over the past few seasons we have gotten lots of calls about renting the ice over the holiday break – as people have family members home.
This year we have planned the maintenance so that we could offer some extra times for rental groups, call or email the office today to schedule your booking.
We are also offering a 10% discount on all rentals from December 26th through January 1st.

Congratulations to George & Patsy Piercey, the 2025 Provincial Mixed Stick Champions!
The club had great representation in the event, including 4.5 of the 6 playoff teams.
Not sure what to get your curler?
Not sure what size mittens they want, what kind of broom they prefer?
All is well, because we have GIFT CERTIFICATES in stock at the club!
What curler doesn’t love receiving curling gear under the tree?
Items in the pro shop (excluding already reduced items) are now 10% off until we close for the Christmas break on December 20th!
Stop by today and pick up a new broom, a pair of gloves, a replacement headcover, or anything else in stock.

We still have a few pairs of Asham and BalancePlus shoes in stock as well – in stock shoes are 30% retail until they are sold out.

The annual Kenmac Energy Bonspiel will take place on Friday, January 10th and Saturday, January 11th at the Cornwall Curling Club.
This is the 38th year that Kenmac has sponsored a spiel at the club!
The excitement starts on Friday with snacks, draw prizes, a 50/50, drink specials – and, of course, curling!
The fun continues Saturday with a continental breakfast, lunch, trivia, games, and more curling – all capped off with a delicious, plated, sit down banquet meal.
Awards and Prizes will be given as well!
Cost is $40 per curler. Single or team-entry is welcome.
NOTE: The tradition for the Kenmac Energy Bonspiel is to have a skip and a mate of different genders. Also, priority is given to full teams, so we encourage people to form teams or fill out a team from the single entry list.
We hope to have three draws (up to 24 teams) if there is enough interest – register by January 3rd at the club or by sending the club manager an email.
A HUGE thank you to our sponsor, KENMAC ENERGY, for their continued support for our club and curling community.
The 2025 Cornwall Cup will be held on Friday, January 3rd and Saturday, January 4th.

This year the event will be the OFFICIAL Club Championship Event for stick curling at the club, meaning it is only open to current members of the Cornwall Curling Club.

If more than 16 teams register we can accommodate, but will need to slightly adjust the event schedule (likely by extending the qualifying draws into Saturday morning and having playoff rounds on Saturday afternoon).

The club hosted the 12th Annual Mixed Doubles Spiel this weekend with 14 teams participating.
The event came down to the last rock thrown with Brent Irving and Angela Sanderson gaining the victory going undefeated and scoring 47 points.
Connor MacEwen and Kacey Gauthier tied for second with Chris and Melissa Creighton with both teams scoring 38 points. They also had the same number of wins and ends won, with the 2nd place prize going to Team MacEwen/Gauthier thanks to the results of a coin toss.
Speaking of coins, we decided to start a new tradition (playing on another great Canadian sporting tradition) with the team(s) finishing in last place getting a Lucky Loonie in hopes they’ll have better luck in their next spiel.
As luck (and skill) would have it the club manager and his wife Emilie were the first “winners” of the Lucky Loonie – along with team Wood/Arsenault.
Congratulations to Amy Duncan and Calvin Smith (we know it was your answers Amy!) for their win in the mixed doubles trivia challenge.
Since transferring to the new server the TODAY page of the website had been redirecting to the wrong page (an old post with the word “today” in the title). Several attempts were made to correct it but proved unsuccessful.
We did resolve the problem by creating a new page in its place with a different name, so the ALL NEW but pretty much totally the same page is now called the SCHEDULE page.
It can also be found at: https://cornwallcurling.com/schedule/
Didn’t want anyone going to the site and not being able to find the information.
