The Senators Men’s League: Where the Ice is Hard, but the Arteries are Harder.
Are you a "distinguished" gentleman of the Oakville Curling Club who enjoys the thrill of competition almost as much as a well-timed nap? Do you have knees that crack louder than a takeout on a fresh sheet of ice? Then welcome home.
The Senators Men’s League is officially scouting for new recruits who prioritize "camaraderie" (which we all know is code for complaining about the ice prep) over Olympic-level athleticism.
Why Join the Senators?
-
The "Anti-Commitment" Commitment: We use an individual entry system. You aren’t tethered to a team like a ball and chain. If you can’t make a game because of a doctor’s appointment or a sudden urge to feed the ducks, don’t sweat it—we find the spares for you.
-
The Great Shuffle: We run five series a year (6-8 games each). Every 4-5 weeks, we blow up the rosters and re-assign teams. It’s like speed dating, but with more wool sweaters and less heartbreak.
-
A Change of Scenery: While we call Oakville home on Tuesdays and Fridays, we’re basically a touring rock band (minus the groupies). You can sign up for "away games" at Dixie, Burlington Golf, and Mississauga Golf & Country Club on Mondays and Wednesdays.
The Rules of Engagement
We play 7 ends of somewhat-deliberate curling, followed by a roll-off. We award points for ends won, total scores, and the roll-off, because in this league, everyone deserves a gold star (or at least a participation trophy).
The $5 Buy-In: Every game costs a fiver. Where does that money go?
The Meat Prize: We reward the top two winning teams and—because we believe in mercy—the top two losing teams with meat packages. Nothing says "I played my heart out" like a tray of sausages.
The Social Fund: The rest of your dough funds our legendary Christmas and Closing Luncheons, where the storytelling gets better as the afternoon goes on.
Are You Eligible?
If you can slide (or shuffle) down the ice without a map, you’re in. Our primary focus is fellowship, enjoyment, and ensuring nobody falls in the hack.
Come for the curling, stay for the meat, and enjoy the best daytime social scene in Oakville. Sign up today and let’s get rolling!
