Before the new season begins and we bring in new rookie curlers from our waitlist to join our new curling league, it would be lovely to share one tradition of the club.
The Rookies of the Year.
Members at the end of the season vote for a couple of rookies, and it could be because of how much they grew on the ice over the season, or what they have seen of their volunteerism at the club. It is about embracing the community.
Congratulations to Kyle and Morgan, who were voted as our Rookies of the Year!
