The Novice league is a recreational league to encourage newer curlers to participate in regular games. The goal is to gain experience and acquire new skills before moving into league play. This league follows the Learn-to-Curl program, but is open to everyone. There is no requirement of having completed a Learn-to-Curl Program, but having some history of instruction is strongly recommended. The games are supported by certified instructors or experienced players.
Doubles
The Doubles league is played with two-person teams and curlers should have some curling experience before joining. This is a fast and strategic game. Each team delivers five stones per end. The player delivering the team's first stone of the end must also deliver the team's last stone of that end. The other team member delivers the team's second, third and fourth stones for that end. Registration is by team but individuals can join and be paired with a playing partner when one becomes available.
