John Dewar Obituary and Celebration of Life Details

Huntley Curling Club youth member Zoe Chapman and her U18 team, Team Morris, have earned an exciting opportunity following their success at the Rideau Trillium Championships!

Team Morris has been invited to compete in the OVCA Superspiel, a prestigious competitive event that brings together high-level junior teams for an outstanding weekend of curling and the chance to compete against some exceptional international talent.

The team will open the event on Friday, November 6 at 9:00 a.m. at the RCMP Curling Club, where they’ll face Team Switzerland, skipped by Zoe Schwaller — the reigning World Junior champions.

What an incredible opportunity for Zoe and Team Morris to test themselves against some of the best young curlers in the world. Good luck, Zoe and Team Morris — Huntley will be cheering you on!

Get involved with the great events put on by the LCA in the Ottawa area! Whether you want to travel far or near, or are a new curler or have lots of experience - there's something for all interested women. Any interested teams should send their intent to Gina as soon after the opening date as possible.

The season is off to a fantastic start! Huntley curlers participated in two great spiels already - congrats to the winners and thank you to all the participants and volunteers who made the events happen.

Zoe Chapman, one of our longtime Huntley Curling Club members, is hitting the ice for another season with her competitive team at clubs and events throughout the region. To help offset the many expenses that come with a competitive curling season, her team is holding a Wooden Christmas Tree Fundraiser. These beautiful handcrafted wooden trees are made by one of the team families, with all funds raised going directly toward team expenses. Order yours today! 

Two of Huntley's junior teams, Team Frlan and Team Twining, participated in the Phoenix Slam event at the end of August and they did not disappoint. Team Frlan were the U20 Women's Champions with an impressive 5-1 record and Team Twining were second place finishers in the U18 Women's event, also with a 5-1 record. Congrats to both teams and we look forward to a great season ahead!
