Our Mixed bonspiel is happening on the weekend of January 28th and 29th. We are still looking for a few teams to fill up this event!

The following weekend we have the 3rd Annual Invitational Stick Bonspiel on February 4th and 5th. This event is almost full as we have a limit of 24 teams.

The Men’s Pot of Gold, as always, is held on the last full weekend in February. This popular event is 2/3rds full – book your team now!

As of this point we have 16 teams registered for our Junior Bonspiel. Get your entries in now so that we can get the schedule done in a timely fashion. If you have a team (Advanced, Intermediate, High School, Novice or Pre-novice) and want to enter, e-mail or phone the club or you can call our Junior Co-ordinator at 250-546-8177.

Welcome back to the second half of the curling season. We hope that everyone has had a nice holiday!

The schedule for the Monday and Wednesday Ladies League has been posted.

Seniors Spring Schedule will be posted soon!

The first day back for the juniors will be Wednesday, January 11th.

The hoodies for all the participants in the Magnum JR league have arrived! The hoodies will be given to the Magnum Junior League curlers at Junior curling  on Wednesday, November 16th. If you cannot make it for Juniors let Steve know and you can make alternate arrangements to pick up your hoodie before the next league game on November 27th.

The Armstrong Club has now had the new Canada Curling Stone removable hacks in for one complete month of use. The ice crew is very happy with the new hacks. These hacks allow the ice scraper to get all of the way to the back of the sheet of ice and more importantly it saves the crew a lot of work – twenty minutes per day .  There is virtually no hand scraping required around the hacks and the hacks no longer need to be vacuumed and sponged out after each ice shaving session.  The rubber will wear more evenly as the left and right hacks are often swapped.  When the ice crew floods, the hacks are simply taken out and well Vaselined lengths of copper pipe are inserted in the holes. Once the flood has frozen solid the copper pipe lengths are easily withdrawn by hand and are ready for the regular hacks. Brilliant. No more crouching in front of hacks melting out hackcups and then laboriously carving and melting out the indentations.

As well the curlers are OK with the new hacks too!
