From noon until 3pm the club will be holding 1 hour sessions where anyone over the age of 8 can learn from skilled curlers the basics of curling and to try their hand at throwing and sweeping rocks. The club will provide appropriate equipment.

We ask that participants bring clean shoes with them, separate from footwear worn to the club.

Calling all Club Members to Compete in Canada's Big Shootout

For the 2nd consecutive year, Huntley will compete in Canada's Big Shootout competition on Saturday, February 22nd, from 10:00am to 11:30am. Please arrive on time so that any instructions on how this event will play out are heard by everyone.  

This competition has clubs from across Canada attempt to make as many draws to the pin in the button as possible in a designated 30-minute period. To maximize our chances, we want as many curlers as possible to stream over 2 sheets as we throw & sweep as many rocks as possible to draw to the pin. Cameras will be recording for an hour so that we have lots of ways to find the best 30 minute stretch of time on a single sheet.

Congratulations to Team Douthwright for winning the A-Final at this weekend's LCA Stanley-Gauthier Bonspiel held at Huntley. The team, pictured above left to right, consists of Carolyn Bruce (Second), Leanne Douthwright (Skip), Laurie Thomas-Keay (Vice) and Kari Keays (Lead). In a quick looking at the past winners of the trophy they are holding, the team mentioned it seems it might have been a few decades since a Huntley team had won the A Final.

Another fine event managed jointly by LCA and hosting members from Huntley that was enjoyed by everyone playing this weekend.

Team Frlan won the U18 Womens Provincials that were held at the Mount Forest Curling Club that ran from January 8-12. Team Frlan lost their opening match in a close 7-5 game but never looked back from that point, finishing the round robin with a 6-1 record. Finishing 1st advanced them directly to the Finals. Their eventual opponent, Team Wilson (Rideau CC), had to win a tiebreaker match over Team Acres (RCMP CC) and the semi-final over Team Penston (Barrie CC). Team Frlan beat Team Wilson 6-4 in the final to be declared U18 Provincial champions. Team Wilson will also be going to the U18 Nationals as Team Ontario 2.

Team Frlan consists of Katrina Frlan, Erika Wainwright, Samantha Wall and Lauren Norman. Their coach is Byron Scott.

Registration opens at Noon on February 1st, 2025.

Injuries can be avoided by following safety precautions. Some key recommendations to keep yourself safe on the ice include:

• Consider wearing head protection - strongly recommended!
• Check the condition of your gripper. Does it need to be replaced?
• Does your gripper shoe need to be replaced? Should you consider wearing another gripper?
• Always step onto the ice with your gripper foot first, and off the ice with your slider foot first (and slowly).
• Never go backwards on the ice as their may be an obstacle behind you.
• Never step over a rock.
• When holding a broom in the house, stand behind a rock rather than just in front of it.
• Never run on the ice or boards.
• Check your equipment throughout the season, not just at the beginning of a season.
