ASSINIBOIA — Preparations are underway as those involved with Assiniboia Curling Club’s season are hurrying hard to get their house ready. The ice will soon be in meaning that rock and roll season will soon begin at Assiniboia Curling Club.
A club spokesperson told the Assiniboia Times, “This year’s major events include the provincial mixed doubles qualifier from Jan. 30- Feb. 2, 2025, along with the regular slate of spiels along the way. The master’s will take place Jan. 3-5. The annual Davyroyd Bonspiel is set for Feb. 15. The ladies' bonspiel is set for March 14-15 and the men’s annual bonspiel will follow, March 21- 23.”
This full slate of activities leads up to the excitement of ACC hosting Canadian Mixed Curling Championships in November 2025 in Assiniboia. This is a big-ticket event to be hosted in Assiniboia and is a result of a highly successful reputation as an event host in the past. Check with your local curling club executive on how you volunteer to help showcase the ACC and the community.
The experience of curling club members in hosting big-ticket events has made way for plans underway to showcase Assiniboia and southern Saskatchewan to teams who will come to compete from across Canada. It will be a great seven days of competition for curlers and spectators alike.
League registration is set to take place Oct. 22 starting at 6:30 p.m.
Monday nights will be the travelling competitive league, where teams from Lafleche, Mossbank and Assiniboia compete. The curling club also noted that all rinks from other communities are welcome to join and to contact Bill at 306-640-9665 for further information.
The Competitive Recreational League takes place on Thursday nights.
The ACC board is pondering a second night, possibly Tuesdays or Wednesdays for teams that want to be a little less competitive, if enough interest is shown.
“We are also looking at some Friday night activity in the doubles or rotating style, twice a month to stir up a little added curling interest. As well, our afternoon league will again function Mondays and Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. Curlers can sign up individually for this one. Call Bill if you are interested or have any other ideas,” adds Assiniboia Curling Club.
The club is always looking for new board members and fresh ideas so invites interested parties to come and join the annual meeting, scheduled for Nov. 20.
Bill Lothian, club executive member acknowledges, “A major fundraiser for our club is advertising, both on the wall and in ice. If your business is interested in carrying out such, again, please give Bill a call for more information. Your support will be greatly appreciated. We need to know about your interest for ‘in ice’ by the end of October to be included this season. Last year’s advertisers will receive info in the mail very shortly.”
Located inside the Prince of Wales Recreation and Cultural Centre, the curling club is a hub for winter activity with its spacious four-sheet facility with seating for approximately 1,000 spectators.
Come watch your favourite curler or favourite team for a game or join them in their lounge following a game as it is a great social atmosphere for curlers and fans alike.
High school curlers will also be part of the Assiniboia Curling Club season, once this school sports activity gets underway.
