And congrats to Ross Cotten for earning his 50th plate on all the club trophies, more than any other club member (Dave Cormier is not far behind at 43). Ross has now won 10 Club Championships over the past 20 years, Dave has 9, Don has 8 and Graham has 4. An exceptional accomplishment for this stellar team!

From draw weight perfection to a few “creative” lines called 😏 – this is what club curling is all about. Huge congrats to all teams and thanks to everyone who came out to play, cheer, and make it such a great event.

And a big thank you to all our members, volunteers, and everyone else who made 2025–26 another great season. Registration for 2026–27 is just around the corner - watch for details coming soon.

Have a great summer!

Registration is open

The annual Triathlon event is in just its second year and has already become very popular! Held on March 21, the event saw "triathletes" participating in curling, euchre and darts, displaying finesse, mental sharpness and a competitive yet friendly spirit.

This year's champions (pictured) were Team Galipeau, skipped by Ron Galipeau (a recent L2C grad), who was joined by his perennial "rookie" teammates. They were very excited in 2025 to place second and even more excited to finish first this year.

Coming in second place was a new entry to the event, Team Daley. And third place was the returning Team Perry. Congrats to all!

A big thank all of the volunteers, the ice team, the bar team and the chef for once again making the Triathlon a success. A good time was had by all, and we look forward to Triathlon 2027!

Organized by Katrina Frlan, one of Huntley's own competitive junior curlers, this past weekend's Learn to Curl Fundraiser was a great success. More than 30 people of all ages registered and attended the event on Saturday, April 4, and not only was the love of curling spread to many newcomers, but the event also raised a total of $1050 for the Sandra Schmirler Foundation.

Great job Katrina and many thanks to the volunteers who came out to support and make this event possible!

It was Richmond Curling Club's turn to host the annual Presidents Cup Challenge event, where area curling clubs send their top teams to work together as a club to see who will take home the coveted Presidents Cup trophy. Huntley's men's, women's, mixed, senior and colts teams (full list below) battled it out alongside their counterparts from the Richmond, Arnprior and Almonte Curling Clubs. While the Huntley teams made a great showing to clinch second place, it was host club Richmond who captured first place.

Thank you to the Richmond Curling Club for hosting and putting on a fantastic event. And great work from all the Huntley teams who participated - next year, the rotating event returns to Huntley, where we will take full advantage of being the host club and home team to claim the trophy in 2027!

Our Huntley Youth continue to represent our Club with pride at a number of local bonspiels. On February 7, 2025 Aiden Paquet, Yanda Wu, Gregory Daly and Ruoyang Fan (pictured left to right below) came in  second place  at the U15 Kemptville Challenge  at the North Grenville Curling Club.

Update (13 March): Apologies for an oversight in excluding Cody Briggs from the list of HCC members on the All Saints team.

Congratulations to all of our youth curlers who competed this season in the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association (NCSSAA) curling championships. We are proud to see so many of our junior members representing their schools while continuing to develop their skills and passion for the sport.

This season, our junior members proudly represented All Saints High School, Earl of March High School, Sacred Heart High School, South Carleton High School, and Pierre-Desmarais High School. It is wonderful to see their commitment to curling extend beyond our club and into the broader community through school competition.

After a busy February in events across Canada and Europe, the members of Huntley’s Team Frlan (Skip Katrina Frlan, Vice Erika Wainwright, Second Samantha Wall, and Lead Lauren Norman) found a few days to rest and catch up on schoolwork before reuniting in Waterloo, ON from February 25 – March 1 to compete at the U20 Provincial Championships in Waterloo, ON. After round robin action, with five wins and two losses, the Huntley rink was set to face Team Vivier in the semifinal. It was a tight match with both teams exchanging great shots and setups but it was Team Vivier who would prevail 5–3. This great effort marks the end of a great season for Team Frlan – well done team! (And an extra congrats to Lauren Norman, who was selected by Team Wilson to join them as their Alternate when they compete at U20 Nationals in Sudbury later this month.)

With their victory at the 2025 WFG Canadian Junior Cup in December, Huntley’s Team Frlan (Skip Katrina Frlan, Vice Erika Wainwright, Second Samantha Wall, and Lead Lauren Norman) earned the opportunity to travel to Arlesheim, Switzerland to represent their country as Team Canada at the Swiss Junior Cup from February 13–15.

After landing in Zurich at 10am CET, the team travelled with chaperone and driver Jackie Cowan to Basel where they would be hosted with a Swiss Curling billet. Shortly after settling in, Team Canada would travel to the Curlingzentrum in Arlesheim for some on-ice practice and stretching out after a long day of travel.

Immediately on the heels of a great showing from Huntley’s Team Frlan in the Swiss Junior Cup from February 13–15, Skip Katrina Frlan and Vice Erika Wainwright were on the road again to rejoin their Guelph Gryphons university team in Regina to compete in the national U Sports Curling Championships from February 17–21 (which they qualified for placing first in the Ontario University Championships earlier that month).

The Guelph Gryphons would cap off the championship event with a record of three wins, four losses (only one win short of making the playoffs). Congratulations Katrina and Erika on a great university curling season!

From February 6–8, Katrina Frlan and Erika Wainwright (Skip and Vice of Huntley’s Team Frlan) travelled to Welland, ON as members of the Guelph Gryphons Varsity curling team (along with Second Aila Thompson, Lead Kelsea Marcolini and Fifth Liana Flanagan) to compete at the Ontario University Athletics Curling Championships.

After pool play, the Gryphons advanced to the knockout round as the number two seed and faced the McMaster Marauders in the final, where they forced their opponents to concede after re-taking the lead in the seventh end. For the first time in 46 years, the Guelph Gryphons captured the gold medal and the provincial title.

Katrina earned the Rookie of the Year and MVP awards at the championship and was named Guelph Athlete of the Week. The provincial win also meant that the Gryphons would be off to compete at the national U Sports Curling Championships in Regina on February 17. Congratulations Katrina and Erika – well done!

This year's Mad Hatter was back and was in high demand and aimed not to disappoint. Teams competed in 3 games of dice rolls and chance, never knowing who's going to score. We played little mini games where teams were able to earn bonus points. We especially enjoyed a game of toilette paper mummies. It was an awesome day and if you missed out this year I really hope we see you out next year, It's a one of a kind type of spiel

Toogoods Kitchen delivered fantastic food to our event which was enjoyed by all. We topped it all off with the ever awaitied washing machine hip of beef, which did not disappoint. Finally it was time to hand out our awards.  We had our Spiel Winner who won only by a single point. WInning with 96pts Team Abel (Joe Abel, Brian Norman, Adine Patterson, & Sarah Reid) sneaked out over Team Young (Norm Young, Kathy Broom, Gabriel Franzgrote & Andrea Ryan) with 95pts.
