TEAM OF THE WEEK:
“ICE” brought us together - that is our kids’ ice time. All of us have 2003 and 2005 boys and girls, respectively that played hockey over the years, so our paths all crossed on the ice. Fast forward to Learn to Curl in 2023 when we decided to try our hand on the ice personally. Sport brings people together and we are thrilled to be entering our second year as a wonderful team of ladies. We look forward to WNW to catch up, laugh and enjoy good curling.
