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.
This event has been won the past 2 seasons by clubs in Newfoundland, making 16 and 13 successful draws. We know Huntley can improve upon our 6 successful draws last season. Winners of the Shootout get a $5,000 Facility Grant from Curling Canada.
More details on this contest can be found on the Curling Day in Canada website.
