Curling in Shelburne & World Championship possibilities




Shelburne is admittedly a small community. What some may not know is that Shelburne is home to some of the best Curling athletes around and the sport is growing in popularity due to the skill level already achieved at The Shelburne Curling Club.

A brief update to this season's successes as both boys and girls moved up to Regionals to be held in Stroud, Barrie, Ontario. The Shelburne Curling Club will be hosting “Glow In The Dark Bonspiel” on January 25th.  In two weeks time, high school level competitors will prove their athleticism at the Gore Regional Playdowns held at the Shelburne Curling Club and though the boys didn't qualify this year, the girls are ready to do all they can to take a win.

Be sure to take in the Senior Men's Regional Playdowns this upcoming weekend at the Club as the over 50 year olds show youngsters how it's done. According to Scott Buchanan, Ice Technician for the Shelburne Curling Club, this weekend is a very exciting weekend for all involved.

“There's a good possibility one of our teams will make it to the World Championships,” Buchanan explains, “The competition beings in Zones, followed by Regionals, Provincials, Nationals and the World Championships. By-standers are more than welcome to come watch. There will be some very good Curling going on here this weekend. You never know where this could go.”
