Hi Everyone, 

Merry Second Winter... or is it Third Winter? Fake Spring?

Either way, hope you're staying warm... and good news, things are about to heat up at the Granite Curling Club as we head into the playoffs!

But before we get to that... 

SPRING FLING - THREE TEAMS NEEDED

I feel like a broken record, but we are REALLY hoping we can get three more teams signed up for the Spring Fling Bonspiel

This promises to be an incredible event

No experience necessary -- and you stand a really good chance at walking away with at least some prize money

$575/team

It includes your Saturday Night Dinner & Party... nightly entertainment... great prize money... and so much more! 

Please -- if you're interested -- sign up as soon as you can so we can finalize our schedule... if you aren't interested, do us a solid and share this with your social networks, at work, etc. 

We really want this to be a success. 

CWP PLAYOFFS

Let's start with the Championship Division

A new League Champion and B Division Champion will be crowned this year. 
The top four from each division have advanced to the Semi Finals and they are:
​






​



​Format for Pool A & B:

1 v 4, 2 v 3 – winners go to Final
Losers go to Consolation

NOTE:

  • In Pool A, there was a 4 way tie for 4th place between Sweeping Beauties (Auger), 50 Sheets of Gay (Gellert), The Curling Team (Hamilton) and Tight & Biting 2.0 (Neigel)
  • To break the tie, we calculated the win/loss record of those 4 teams when playing each other
  • Sweeping Beauties (Auger) and 50 Sheets of Gay (Gellert) both had 2 wins but Sweeping Beauties beat 50 Sheets of Gay in their game, so they will advance.

  • In Pool B, there was a 2 way tie for 3rd place between Dix “n” Chicks (Gallant) & The Spice Curls (Brittain)
  • They tied in their game against each other, so we couldn’t figure it out that way
  • A draw to the button will determine their placement
  • Sweepers Allowed and Any Team Member can throw
  • If no one makes the rings, a second shot will be taken
  • If no one makes the rings, a coin toss will determine who will finish 3rd and 4th. 

Prizes awarded for Pool A & B
Winner: $200 & bragging rights
Runner Up: $100
3rd Place: $80
4th Place: $40

CONSOLATION DIVISION

All other teams (teams that finished 5th and lower in each division) will play in a special consolation showdown
Teams that finished 5th and 6th will play twice
Bottom 4 in A and Bottom 4 in B will each play one game and have one bye

The winner of each game will be entered into a draw to win $40
The Playoff Schedule is attached (I've also copied it into this email)

NEWS AND NOTES

  •  A reminder the AGM and Awards will be held at the end of curling on March 25th 
  • Elections will be held at the AGM. There will be some openings, so if you're interested in joining the board, please consider putting your name forward
  • Everyone will get one free drink ticket for the AGM
  • Since we're already used to curling on Tuesday's, how about joining us on Tuesday, April 1st (No Joke!) to help decorate and set things up for the Canadian Pride Curling Championships
  • Another reminder to please sign up for Spring Fling Bonspiel, if you haven't already, or at least help promote it so we can fill our three remaining spots

Hey Everyone, 

We're down to the final few weeks of curling for the 2024/25 season - amazing how time just seems to slide right through the house. 

Some important updates to pass along your way

NOTICE OF AGM
The Curling With Pride AGM will be held on Tuesday, March 25th following curling

The Agenda is as follows:
1. Call to Order
2. Approval of Previous Minutes (see attached)
3. President's Report (Season Update, Ice Breaker, Nationals)
4. Treasurer's Report 
5. Elections
6. Season Winners (A Division, B Division, Spirit of Curling)
7. New Business

  • JOIN THE BOARD! Love Curling With Pride and looking for a way to give back? There will be some vacancies that need to be filled for the 2025-26 CWP Executive Board. Elections will be held at our AGM on March 25th. So if you're thinking or interested in joining the board, now's the chance. Give it some thought and if you want to talk it over, we'll gladly chat! 

  • BONSPIEL SUPPORT: Over the last few years, Stephen Simmons and Kris Heuven have been instrumental in reviving the Ice Breaker Bonspiel. They gave it a whole new identity and watched it blossom into one of Canada's premiere 2SLGBTQ+ bonspiels. Stephen and Kris are taking a bit of a break from organizing the bonspiel, and we'd love some volunteers to step up and help organize. If you are interested, or have some questions, please reach out to the board or David Gallant. 

SEASON UPDATE
The regular season will end on NEXT Tuesday, March 11th. DARTS will be the social activity. That will be followed by two weeks of playoffs (March 18 and 25). The top four teams in each division will make the playoffs. More details to come including an updated league schedule. Reminder: For playoffs, the buzzer will ring at 9:30pm. 

SPRING FLING BONSPIEL
We have just THREE spots left for the Spring Fling Bonspiel and are asking anyone who is thinking of registering to please do so as soon as possible. 
We are trying to finish the program and finalize the schedule, so having final numbers would be greatly appreciated. 

Cost: $575/team
Fun Fact: Did you know that when Edmonton hosted the 2014 Nationals and Ice Breaker Bonspiel -- the Bonspiel registration was $500/team... that's over ten years ago! 

This year's event will have nightly entertainment, a dinner and party at the Bison Lodge, tons of prizes and raffle prizes. 
It promises to be an unforgettable few days as we celebrate curling, community, and culture.

CANADIAN PRIDE CURLING CHAMPIONSHIP
Be on the lookout for some of our members - as they make the local media rounds to promote the 2025 Canadian Pride Curling Championships! 

We are also very much in need of volunteers -- both ahead of the event and during!

On Tuesday, April 1st - we're asking anyone who is available - to please come down to the Granite and help us decorate and set up for the event. More details to come - but please circle the date on your calendar.
And of course, we need volunteers to help ensure the event runs smoothly. 

We love putting on events, but they're only successful if we have people stepping up to help us turn our ideas into reality. 

To volunteer: Please email Trevor at [email protected] 

Thanks again for all your support this year -- chat soon!
