We welcome new curlers every season and we'll help you get started and learn the game. Information about registration for the coming season will be sent out in late August.

Oilfields Curling Club Junior Program
We wrapped up a very successful Junior season this week. Our program grew to 20 kids - several from last season and many new curlers. Thanks to the children for participating and to the parents for bringing them out.
We held a coaching clinic in the fall that helped our coaching team improve our training program. It is amazing to see how much every one of the children improved over the season and we're excited to see them continue to improve their curling skills next season.
Thanks to our coaches - Jackie, Byron, John, Tim, Sherri and Laura - and our parent volunteers Derek, Matt and Curtis - and our peer coach Izzy - and special thanks to the League Convener Nancy Jackson.
We'd also like to thank Black Diamond Dairy Queen who contributed to our wrap-up dinner - much appreciated!
We hope to see everyone back on the ice in October!
