How the Wild West Bonspiel was won; a York Curling Club classic!

Team photos and action shots are posted - you can download from the photo site.

This year’s Closing Bonspiel, Chaired by our own Sheriff Maureen Campbell and her AMAZING band of Volunteer Deputies, opened and closed out with a bang! Duels were held throughout the week, as teams challenged one another through a series of 3-4 games. At the stroke of 6:50 pm, Tuesday night, thirty-six teams began their ride onto the ice at YCC, where over successive nights, they dueled it on the slippery landscape and later in the lounge with “games a plenty!”. The draws were fast, and the shots were heard far and wide! But fate has a role to play, and in the end, with thirty-three teams put to the side, three teams stood tall; the A, B and C winners!

2016 closing champsLeading the way by winning the “A Event” was our very own Draw Master, John Morrison, and his supporting cast of champions Pam Holik, Lynne Jamieson and Melissa Kauffeldt.

In second place was “Lefty Lemon”, as Lloyd Lemon and his cast of shot makers Karen Cole, John Hall and Judy Walker captured the “B Event”.

And finally, bringing up the rear, and showing he’s still got it was none of other than “Mr. I can’t get enough curling”, Harry Carter and his cast shots and guards led by Greg Klein, Jill Renshaw and Karen Gowdy, as they captured the “C Event”.

A hearty York Curling Club congratulations to all the WINNERS, and to all who participated. This year’s Wild West was truly a classic, and one that we will remember for year to come.

See y’all next year!!
