100 Mile Curling Club Business League ended a successful season on March 18 with a round of four-end games, a social, and the awarding of prizes.
The William Holyk team finished as the season leader, with eight wins and one loss to the second place Performance/Kreschuk Construction team.
Other members of the winning team were Tammy Levesque-Holyk, Ray Timoffee and Charlie Dunk.
The third place finisher was Ford/Investment Planning Counsel, and fourth was Royal LePage 100 Mile Realty/Free Press.
Larry McCrea Law took fifth and the Grenzer team was sixth.
The league was started for the 2011/12 season and has proven to be strong, with six teams playing each Monday evening.
Starting the league was a good move for the club, bolstering its membership and introducing many non-curlers to the sport.
Dustin Leduc, a longtime club member, co-ordinated the league this season, offering instruction and strategy tips to rookie players, and regularly digging in with his own broom to help guide a shot.
The laid-back league offers both a fall/winter session and a winter/spring session, giving teams the option for a lesser commitment.
Curling club president Joanne Doddridge says the new league has been a success and she’s anticipating strong interest from both past and new teams next season.
“It’s a good environment to learn and have fun. The club is so happy to have this new league.”
Prospective curlers don’t require to have a full team to join the league, as the club will aid in finding additional people.
The club is holding a membership social on April 12 in its lounge, at 6 p.m. All members are invited to attend, and following the social, there will be a brief annual general meeting and awards presentations.
