CURLERS UNDER 21

Junior Curling

This is social curling that allows children and young adults to develop their skills.

This program offers the opportunity to curl twice a week, under the guidance of the Junior Coordinator, Kerry Hughson (see League Reps page for contact information).

Scheduled ice time is Wednesday's and Friday's from 6pm-8pm.

As members, Juniors may, in addition to their scheduled times, curl whenever there is free ice time.

There are many bonspiels during the year and we hope these will offer the opportunity for the Juniors to go out and curl, meet new people and have a lot of fun.
