Your FGCC Executive wanted to take this opportunity to thank all members for a very successful season following the past two pandemic years.
The iceplant is now turned off, with the ice now melting on the 2021-22 season. League windups will be taking place and lockers cleaned out.
It was wonderful to see a return to curling and socializing with all the smiling faces around the club this year during league play and at the year end FGCC Open bonspiel.
We are so fortunate to have a wide variety of leagues at our club and based on the comments received, everyone was so grateful to be back at the Fort.
Thank you members and staff for a very successful 2021-22 season! Have a safe and enjoyable Summer and we will see you in the Fall.
On Friday, March 18, a very emotional send off party was held at the Fort Garry Curling Club for Team Tober. With their family and friends present, along with greetings from various dignitaries, the night was a great success!
The FGCC Executive wishes the girls the best of luck at the Nationals in Stratford, Ontario and we hope that you simply enjoy the moment of wearing the buffalo on your backs.
Congratulations to Team Tober for winning the Telus 2022 Junior Women's Provincials held from February 22-27 at the Brandon Curling Club. Team Tober defeated Team Maguet by a score of 11-4 in the final. The Fort Garry affiliated team will represent Manitoba at the New Holland Canadian Junior Women's Championships from March 25 - April 1 in Stratford, Ontario.
Curling is one of the most inclusive sports out there. You can play in a wheelchair, you can play if you’re visually or hearing impaired, you can play if you’re 90, and you can play if you’re five. There’s such a big age range in curling that little kids can use special lighter rocks until they get big enough to push the granite monsters. You also don’t have to be able to run 10 miles without breaking a sweat in order to play—although being physically fit is definitely a benefit. Both throwing and sweeping can get pretty intense. Curling teams can be all men, all women, or mixed.
2. Curling is inexpensive
No crazy pads, no skates, no helmets—just some basic gear and a membership to a curling league or club, and you’ve got yourself a super-fun sport. Chances are, you can play for a lot less than an annual gym membership. Just be warned: you can blow your budget pretty easily buying rounds for the other team after a match.
3. It’s great for your mind
Curling is all about strategy and precision—in fact, its nickname is “chess on ice.” Although you can learn to play in a couple of hours, curlers spend years learning to read the ice, evaluate the other team’s play, and make decisions accordingly. Plus, you’ll get some good practice in focusing and being mindful. As one curler puts it, “Whether it’s on sweeping, or watching a line, or letting your legs remember what the weight feels like as you slide out—you think about one thing. And for a bit, everything else melts away.”
4. Curling is a ridiculously social sport
Good sportsmanship is key in curling—sweepers are expected to call their own infraction when they burn, or touch, a stone, for example. So while there’s definitely rivalry and competition, it’s also expected that curlers will be friendly and courteous, even if they’re losing badly. Also, getting a beer or coffee with the opposing team after the game is pretty much required, so you’re guaranteed to make friends whether you want to or not.
