In partnership with the Granite Curling Club of Seattle and Snohomish County, the 2017 Nationals take place Feb. 11-18, 2017.
Time – often an overlooked thing to a curling bystander. But, time was the unofficial fifth man for Seattle’s Luc Violette rink as Riley Fenson’s team couldn’t get off the final shot of the game to try to score a point to send the game to an extra end this afternoon as the 2016 U.S. Youth Olympic Team Trials for Curling came to a close.

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!
Another Ladies Spiel is over and was a tremendous success thanks to many people. I am grateful for the help and support to the following people:
Miyo Konno, Kris Ikegami, Jiyoung Lee, and Claire Bonin won the Women's Club Championship while Lyle Sieg, Tom Violette, Ken Trask, and Steve Lundeen won the Men's. Both teams had no losses.
