Optimist Junior Interclub Curling League (OJICL) held their annual yearly wrap-up banquet on Sunday to celebrate the end of another season.
The mixed league of young curlers that play each week is divided into three divisions – Division 1 plays in Langley at the George Preston Recreation Centre and Divisions 2 and 3 play at the Cloverdale Curling Rink.
The league consists of teams from various curling clubs throughout the Lower Mainland from Port Moody, Royal City (New Westminster), Delta, Langley, Cloverdale, Peace Arch (White Rock), and Golden Ears (Maple Ridge).
The divisions were further broken down into blocks of four (A, B, C, and D) during the recent tournament.
Banner champions for Division 1 (block A) included Team Leung from Langley and Grand Aggregate Champions Team Fei.
A Langley team also took the top spot for B block, while Royal City took third in block C and Cloverdale in block E.
