For 2026/27 my regular curling leagues will be the Saturday Morning Sportsmen out of the Victoria Curling Club, plus one other TBD.
I’m looking to join another team (or put a team together) for 2026/27 curling at either VCC or Esquimalt. The goal for the team will be to have fun (top priority) while working on skill improvement as a team. Please contact me if you’re interested.

ELIGIBILITY:
- 64 years young. Can curl in “Seniors” or “Masters”.
- Member of the Victoria Curling Club.
ABILITY / POSITIONS:
- Almost 30 years curling experience.
- Curl (and dance 😊) younger than my age. On the better-than-average side of the curve for club-level play (not just for my age!).
- Will curl any position, preferring 3rd or skip, but happy to throw from the front end, too.
- When skip or vice-skip, I read the line of shot well, have no trouble letting the sweepers know what’s needed, and prepare at least one “Plan B” in case the shot isn’t going as planned.
- On the technical side, I use a stopwatch and work based on tee-hog times if that’s what you’re looking for (sorry, not practiced with back-to-hog times). Given the opportunity, I’ll call a tap/take-out weight by hog-to-hog time if the player knows how to throw it.
