Skip Evan Turgeon, Third Zane Bartlett, Second Jordan Field and Lead Colin Anderson competed in the Zone 1 West Playdowns on Dec. 18th in Nelson. It was an exciting day for them, their families and those involved in our Grand Forks Junior Curling Program.

They played 3 games, winning one and losing two. But this road trip was really about getting started along the competitive trail and experiencing curling at a different rink in another community. The boys were smiling and having a good time. Their game times were 9:00 am, 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm – that’s 3 games in 9 hours. At any age that involves endurance but let’s remember that this team is only 11-13. They were playing teams which included 15 and 16 year olds.

We are grateful to their coach Dave Bartlett and the extra time he has given to the team.
