On Saturday, prospective curlers of all ages took to the ice to Try Curling on Sports Day in Canada. A drawing for two Sports Day T-Shirts was held, with winners Jake Dickey and Stephen Lewis. There will also be a drawing for a $100 gift certificate for the curling club of their choice, awarded on Monday from among the attendees at all seven dedicated curling facilities. PEI Junior Women’s champ Veronica Smith, who was coordinating the event at the seven clubs, was on-hand, and helped out on the ice, as did Club President Paul Neima,  Board of Directors member Paula Ling, and Club member Myron MacKay. We also had two stick curling instructors, Bryan Ferguson and Shirley Lank, on hand, but no prospective stick curlers were in attendance.

Sixteen teams representing ten curling clubs from the three Maritime provinces took part in the Cornwall Curling Club’s first Masters Plus Bonspiel on Thursday and Friday. Masters Plus has three curlers on a team age 60 and over, and one player at least 55 years old. Off-Island teams were from CFB Halifax, Antigonish, Truro, Sackville and Moncton.

A points system was used to determine the final standings. The Julien Gaudin rink from the Charlottetown Curling Complex, which includes third Cathy Dillon, second Wayne Arsenault, and lead Shoji Yamamoto finished in first place, with 57 points. Next was the host club rink skipped by Bob MacWilliams, with 51 points. Rounding out the MacWilliams squad were John Berry, Roy Coffin, and Jim Farquharson. Third place went to the Judy Burgess rink from Truro, with 48 points, followed closely by Cornwall’s Paul Arsenault team, with 47. Rounding out the top six are the Bill Lutes foursome from Moncton with 44 points, and Cornwall’s Shirley Berry rink, with 42.

Organizers report that feedback from the participants was great, and they hope to make it an annual event.

All seven full-time PEI curling facilities are participating in Sports Day, and are offering FREE Try Curling Open Houses at various times on that day. There will also be a draw for  a $100 gift certificate at the curling facility of your choice (one draw from all seven clubs).

Our Club offers both traditional curling, and the relatively new sport of 2 Person Stick Curling, where the curling rock is delivered from a standing position (our Club is the home of both the Open and Women’s Canadian 2-Person Stick Curling champions!). The Cornwall Curling Club is also fully wheelchair accessible right down to the ice level, and we welcome wheelchair curlers as well.

Round One of three is set to go in the Wednesday evening Ladder League. We have two nine-team pools
To play all games in each round would mean we would need 9 weeks per round (play 8 teams and have a bye), so we can only play partial round robins, as the season is six weeks too short for three full rounds. Not all teams will get a bye in a round, so we will have to factor in number of games played. We will run the 1st round up to Christmas (8 weeks), so we can start Round Two in the new year. We have two weeks off for the holidays, as Christmas and New Years days are both on Wednesdays. We will split the remaining 13 weeks into 7 and 6 week rounds, with Round Two ending Feb. 19 and Round Three ending April 2.
We alternate draw times between A and B pools each week. Since the A pool had the early draw for the first week last year, we’ll give it to the B pool this year. We will have identical draws in each pool e.g. if team A1 is playing on sheet 1, team B1 will, too.
We had two teams, one from each pool, requesting byes on Nov. 6, so we have adjusted the team order so those teams are both in the same position and we can give the byes.

Future weeks are planned through November and early Dec. at several Island curling clubs.

After a few last-minute team and roster changes, including the addition of another team (the Donald DeWolfe junior rink), making a total of 18, the Wednesday Evening Ladder League is set to go.

There will be two pools of nine teams, with one team in each pool having a bye each night (except for this week!). At the end of each round, we will move the bottom three teams from the A pool down the ladder to B, and the top three B teams up the ladder to A. There are prizes at the end of the season for the A and B winners each round.

As we have quite a few team and roster changes, we start fresh each season, by doing a random draw for opening night, “Qualifier Night”, with the winning teams going into the A pool, and the losing teams going into the B pool for the first round robin draw, which starts on Oct. 30.

Note that this week (only) in order to give all 18 teams a chance to qualify, we be playing Five end (yes, five!) games on Ice 1, and Eight End games on ices 2-4. If you are on ice 1, please be aware that the start times for the second and third games are 7:45 and 9 pm, respectively.

Mark the draw sheet on the Wednesday board with a W or L at the end of your draw. We will be using a different scoring sheet/system next week.

Here is the draw, courtesy of Random.org:

10   1, 13  11,  4  17,  5   2,  14  18,  16   6,
 8   9,  7   3, 12  15 Timestamp: 2013-10-22 12:01:13 UTC
