Keep it up Team PEI!

Team Power (Janique LeBlanc, Emily Best, Sara Spafford, and Amanda Power) are representing the club and PEI at the Everest Canadian Curling Club Championships in Barrie, Ontario this week.

Their schedule (times in AST) are posted below:

You can follow their games via livestream on their FB page: Team Power FB Page

The following is from their FB page:

We are so excited to be FOUR days away from heading to Barrie for the Everest Curling Canadian Club Curling Championships!!

The 12th Annual Masters Plus Bonspiel will take place from November 21-22. 

The bonspiel is open to men’s, women’s, and mixed teams – there will only be one division. One curler of the team can be between ages 55-60, with the remaining players being Masters age (60+).  All teams are asked to provide the names and ages of their players at registration to ensure the bonspiel criteria has been met.

Each team is guaranteed FOUR games.

Prizes will be awarded to the TOP FOUR teams – additionally, we will have a few door prize drawings throughout the event. 

This year we’ll have soup and sandwiches on Thursday, with chili and a roll on Friday.

Each curler will also be provided one free beverage ticket. 

It’s Friday, so that means it’s time for another SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT!

This week we are once again highlighting a new sponsor to the club – RED ISLAND CIDER.

We started carrying Father Walker’s Dry Cider last year and it was a big hit. 

Check out their website at: https://redislandcider.com or drop by their physical location at 101 Longworth Avenue in Charlottetown.

Thanks so much for your support!

Yet again the name drawn for the 50/50 was a member who hadn’t put their twoonie in this week (in their defense, I think they were out of town).

But everyone be sure to razz Elaine Hughes for not signing up for the year because it means $272 moves on to next week’s draw.

Will we top $400 next week?

Will we FINALLY have a winner?

From left to right: Travis Stone, Kurt Roach, Mark MacNamara, Robin Nathanson. 2024 Village Green Cash Spiel Champions.

The Village Green Club Curling Cashspiel concluded on Sunday, marking a second consecutive Championship for a team from Nova Scotia. The action-packed day started with two intense quarterfinal matches, setting the stage for an exciting finish.

In one quarterfinal, Peter Rousseau’s team pulled off a thrilling comeback against Eddie MacKenzie’s rink. Down by one without the hammer, Rousseau managed to steal three points in the final end, clinching a spot in the semifinals against Travis Stone’s team from Sydney, Nova Scotia. Meanwhile, Michelle Armstrong’s squad from Lakeshore Curling Club—featuring Julie McEvoy, Abby Miller, and Kathleen Porter—narrowly advanced to the quarters with a nail-biting 7-centimeter differential in cumulative DTB. However, their momentum was halted by Shelly Bradley’s team, who played strong throughout the game, to secure their place in the semi finals.

In the semifinal round, Travis Stone’s well-rested team dominated, wrapping up their game after just four ends. In the other semifinal, Bradley’s rink fought hard against their clubmates, Team Yogi’s, in a game that lasted roughly 2.5 hours, with multiple stones in play each end. Bradley sealed the win with a skillful 10-foot angle raise double to score three points in the eighth end. Earning the nickname “The Cardio Kids,” Bradley’s team had already played three games on Saturday before heading into the final against Stone.

The final saw Stone’s team—composed of Kurt Roach, Mark MacNamara, and Robin Nathanson—came out strong once more, scoring three points in the first end and stealing two in the second. The game concluded in the fifth end with Stone hitting for three, securing an 8-1 victory over Bradley and her “Cardio Kids.”

A huge thank you to Ron and the ice crew for their dedication in maintaining top-notch ice conditions throughout the weekend. Special appreciation also goes to the bar staff for keeping the players refreshed and to the Cornwall Curling Club for hosting what promises to be one of the Maritimes’ premier club curling events.

Three weeks into the season and all three 50/50 drawings have been members who DIDN’T pay their twoonie (or enter for the year).

As a reminder, next week will be the last week to enter for the full year and the amount for the rest of the year will be $38.

This week the winner WASN’T….(see video)

Everyone be sure to give the three unlucky non-winners a hard time!
