The Dominion Curling Club Championship, sponsored by The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company, is a new event which gives regular club curlers across the country an opportunity to compete in provincial and national level competitions. Club curlers are those who enjoy the sport recreationally, supporting club leagues on a regular basis each curling season. Now, these teams will have an opportunity to demonstrate their skill against other curling clubs in their province and country.
Here on PEI, club-level events are being held at each of the seven curling clubs, to pick men’s and women’s club champions. Winners are to be declared by February 28th, and will compete in the Provincial Dominion Curling Club Championship, March 13-15 at the Crapaud Community Curling Club. This event replaces the Intermediate championship that was held in previous years. Entry fee for the provincial event is $30 per player. The Dominion Provincial Club Championship will be a round robin with eight end games, and will follow the PEI Curling Association’s Rules of Play. Ties will be decided by a full extra end. Upon completion of the round robin, the top three teams will advance to the playoff round, with the second-place team playing the third-place team in the semi-final, and the semi-final winner playing the first-place team in the final. Any profit generated from provincial or national Dominion Curling Club Championship events will be directed to charities including the Canadian Paraplegic Association, as well as developmental curling initiatives in communities across Canada.

The winners from the PEI championship will advance to the national event, at the St. George’s Golf and Country Club in Etobicoke Ontario in November.
