It’s hard to believe, but Niverville’s curling season is already half over. This is the harsh reality when your town’s curling rink is made of natural ice.
Staying true to form, Mother Nature once again delayed ice-making at the rink until the second week of December, but through the dedicated work of a number of volunteers, the curling club opened its doors on January 3 for its first league game. This year, Niverville hosts three weeknights of league curling, consisting of men’s, ladies, and mixed teams. Upcoming events in the month of February include Couples Curling (February 17) and the league playoffs (February 24–25).
Students from the high school will also use the rink throughout February for gym classes as they learn the basics of the game.
Also back this year is the Junior Curling program, which runs for seven weeks on Tuesday nights from 6:00–7:00 p.m. It has been great to see a number of kids return to this program year after year and observe the progress they have made over time.
