Curling is a unique sport that requires both skill and strategy. It is often referred to as chess on ice. It is a lifelong sport that can be learned at any age. Whether playing in a fun league or in a competitive ladder the emphasis is always on sportsmanship and fair play. Being a social sport by nature, it is not uncommon for teams to socialize off the ice where lasting friendships are often made.
It is with great pleasure that the Oakville Curling Club would like to announce the hiring of Ian Tetley as the new General Manager, effective Monday, February 6th, 2023.
Some may know Ian from his three world championships and international curling coach career and, some know Ian personally as he has been a long-standing member of the Oakville Curling Club community, but Ian also brings years of board and managerial experience that align to and further OCC's Mission Statement. His talent, skills and enthusiasm will serve to better the day-to-day member experience of our great club.
Ian is excited for the new challenge and looks forward to meeting all the OCC members through the remainder of the 2022-23 curling season. Please join us in welcoming Ian to his new role and give him a warm Oakville Curling Club welcome when next you see him at the Club.
A special thanks to the members of the Board and HR Committee for their dedication and assistance throughout this process.
On February 6th, 2023, the Oakville Curling Club will be entering into a capital grant agreement with the Ontario Trillium Foundation. OCC has been generously approved for another OTF Capital Grant – this time to fund improvements the facility’s Air Quality & HVAC systems.

Well…it happened…
Thirty-two men’s curling teams assembled at the Oakville Curling Club January 27-29 for the 57th Annual Sportsmen’s Bonspiel. There were a lot of laughs, maybe a few drinks consumed, and along the way the most generous group of curlers you will ever find, raised over $22,000 for our partner charity - Sleeping Children Around the World.
We’d like to congratulate Team Willsey (John Willsey, Brad Lumley, Matthew Garner, Spencer Dunlop) who participated in the Ontario Men's Tankard in Port Elgin, Jan 23-29, 2023. Although a repeat of their St. Thomas Classic win wasn’t in the cards, we would like to thank Team Willsey for proudly representing the Oakville Curling Club at the event.
On January 19, 2023, the Oakville Curling Club hosted 4 games as part of the 2023 Strathcona Cup Tour. We were visited by 20 Scottish curlers who belonged to the Central Tour group. Similar Tour Groups were touring the Maritimes and Western Canada at the same time.
The Strathcona Cup has a history of 120 years and occurs only every 10 years. Five years from now, in 2028, a contingent of 40 Canadian curlers will travel to Scotland for a rematch.
Oakville teams were skipped by Ian Tetley, Jim Wilson, Matt Lawton and Bruce Webster. Games were played in mid-afternoon beside 4 regular season games in the Senior Men’s League.
All four Strathcona Cup games were punctuated by a 4th End Break in which brooms were “stacked” in the rings as players went off for a wee dram.

On January 19th, 2023, Ontario Trillium Fund (OTF) representative Dianne Lawson was on hand to celebrate the $419,400 Community Building Fund Capital grant awarded to the Oakville Curling Club to finance the arena floor replacement. Completed in October 2022, this project provides decades of continued life to the Club’s legacy.
Also on hand to celebrate the event, and enjoy the Strathcona Cup games, were Mayor Rob Burton, Ward Councillors Janet Haslett-Theall & David Gittings, Rebecca Edgar (Visit Oakville), representatives from Federal Minister Anita Anand’s office and other local community organizations & partners involved in the project.
We have had a busy off-season with the replacement of the ice arena floor. The subsequent delay in opening has impacted our Bonspiel schedule for the upcoming season.
Here is the status of major events as of today. We will update as new information becomes available
Sportsmen, World Lefthanders and K4K Charity Spiel are all planned to run this season. Details will be posted on their respective bonspiel pages as they become available.
The Delmanor Senior Men Bonspiel is set to return next year (2023). We are looking forward to welcoming you back next December for this premier event.
Friday, September 29 to Sunday, October 1, 2023
