Spring leagues have been very popular in the past years, and we’re excited to bring them back this year with an additional league, Mixed Doubles on Tuesday nights at 6:30. Mixed Doubles, if you’re not already familiar, is a version of curling with one man and one woman per team and modified rules. We’ll also have open leagues on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings as well as Thursday mornings. All the open leagues are great for new curlers!
