The annual FG Open was held from February 21-23 and was yet again a huge success! Many thanks to all the league members and guests who continue to support the bonspiel with a full 32 team draw and waiting list. So awesome to notice that over the years folks are getting to know one another on and off the ice at the bonspiel from all the different leagues as well as guests from outside of the club. It is truly wonderful to see everyone having fun on the ice, enjoying the amazing Storm Cafe food and socializing in our club room. It truly feels like a family and what the club is supposed to be all about.

Special thanks to Lori Harrow and Case Komada. Lori (Past President and former Executive member), who not only oversees our bar services, but recruits and organizes the teams for our bonspiel. Again, a full 32 teams with a waiting list. Case (Past President and former Executive member), a priceless volunteer, for organizing, maintaining and updating the draws and payouts. Thank you is simply not enough. Without the two of you, there would be no bonspiel. To Dwayne Treichel, Ed Shachtay and President Darren Needham for running the blind calcutta. Thank you Mitch Rouire (club member himself) and Storm Cafe staff for your great food and service! The Big Crush band performed on Saturday evening and a huge thank you to them for providing great entertainment which kept our club room hopping.

The on ice fun and comradery, food, bar service and entertainment was awesome yet again. We are already looking forward to next year!

All Members and Executive of the Fort Garry C.C would like to wish Team Manitoba (Rock Solid) the best of luck at the upcoming Special Olympics Canada Winter Games which will be held in Thunder Bay, Ontario from February 25-29.

Fort Garry hosted Pembina in the O'Grady Challenge on Sunday, January 26. Although our club put up a valiant effort, Pembina was victorious in the end with a very strong team of veterans. Both clubs enjoyed a great afternoon and evening of comradery and sportsmanship. Special thanks to Lori for spoiling both teams with refreshments and friendly service, as well as Jenn and her crew from Storm Catering who served up tasty appetizers as well as a delicious buffet dinner complete with dessert and coffee. Pembina will now travel to Carman next in an attempt to keep their winning streak intact.
