The Niverville Club’s season got cut short by unseasonably warm weather, forcing curlers to head out of town for post-season play. Most of the playoffs occurred in February at the Otterburne Curling Club. The final was played on March 15 in St. Adolphe.
The champions were skipped by David Aitken, and supported by third Brad Wasilinchuk, second Marc Loeppky, and lead John Schmitke.
“This season was very challenging at the Niverville Curling Club,” explains Wasilinchuk, who says that limited ice time led to teams being eliminated after a single playoff loss. “If you had one bad game, you were done.”
Wasilinchuk says that their team would like to thank the generous curling clubs in Otterburne and St. Adolphe, who opened their doors to players from Niverville.
He adds that the club has a lot of young curlers, and that it would be nice to see some upgrades at the Niverville rink in the future. “Niverville has a very strong curling club, and we have a lot of fun and socializing at NCC.”
