The Men's League is one of our more competitive leagues without sacrificing recreational enjoyment and friendship. You can register as an individual or as part of a team. The year starts with a round-robin, and then splits into two flights based upon results. The winners of flights are recognized at year-end. Everyone on the team must register before the cap is met, or an alternate may be assigned.
The number of curlers will be capped to ensure we have two full draws, with no more than two team bye weeks (refers to a scheduled off week for a given team(s). This means the Men's league will only ever play on a Monday evening, either at 6:45 p.m. or 9 p.m. (alternating).

The convenor reserves the right to balance the teams with respect to the numbers of players and caliber. Both draws are limited to 2 hours of play, and no end may begin 1 hour and 50 minutes after scheduled start time. ie. the first draw can not start a new end after 9:50 am.

Wednesday Daytime - Mixed Doubles, 1 pm Draw
Wednesday at 1 pm
Doubles curling, also known as mixed doubles curling, is a fast paced game where the majority of play is to the center of the house. The first few rocks are crucial as you want to be the first to get to the button. Why is it called doubles curling you ask? Because a team is comprised of only two people, one female and one male. You can create your own team, or register as an individual. Individuals will be assigned to a team with a partner shuffle occurring 4 times per season. This league is open to Adult (age 18+) curlers only.
This league is played using Modified Rules:
- No sweeping prior to the delivered rock crossing the hogline at the receiving end
- Take outs begin with the 2nd rock of team that has hammer (4th rock overall)
- Team that has hammer, places rock just behind button.

- Both players on a team throw three rocks each per end.
