There’s something for everyone at curling.ca MEET THE CREW The 2012 Capital One Canada Cup of Curling is symbolic of the refreshing sense of confidence that has been gaining momentum in Moose Jaw in recent years and one more sign of the energy and enthusiasm that is literally changing the face of the community. While the city’s “old guard” may be predominantly responsible for the revitalization of the downtown district, the local youth have stepped up to ensure the investment pays major dividends for the future. And that’s clearly evident once you have the From left to right: (Top Row) Alison Fisher, Gaye Stewart chance to meet the Host Committee for the 2012 Capital One (Bottom Row) Leslie Glova, Danielle Sicinski Canada Cup. Headed by Host Chair Danielle Sicinski at just 29 years of age, the committee is indicative of the youth movement taking hold in the southern Saskatchewan city that is evolving as a tourist destination for people from throughout the province and across the country. “I don’t think there was a conscious effort to get the young people involved at the organizational level… it just happened that way,” commented Sicinski, an accountant with SaskTel. “They were looking for people who had experience in organizing local events and there’s a few of us that fit the bill.” The Canada Cup of Curling organizing committee gets into the Western spirit. An avid athlete participating in curling, volleyball, track and field and rhythmic gymnastics, Sicinski competed three times in both the Saskatchewan Junior Women’s Curling Championship and the Canadian University Curling Championship. Behind the scenes, she has served as a director for the 2008 Scotties and 2011 Ford World Men’s in Regina, as well as taking on committee roles for the Schmirler Curling Classic. “It’s a small city where everyone knows everyone… people who have seen their parents involved in these kind of events are now getting involved themselves. And it’s infectious, so you find that a lot of their friends are coming out to take part as well.” The youngest member of the Host Committee is 21-year-old Derek Dejaegher, a marketing executive with the Moose Jaw Times Herald, a proud sponsor of the 2012 Capital One Canada Cup. As director of the Paint the Town & Community Events group he has been leading the way for all the promotional and marketing initiatives taking place in the city and throughout the southern region of the province. “I’ve been involved in curling pretty much all my life,” he commented. “My father was an icemaker so I grew up with the game. Danielle asked me if I wanted to get involved and it was a chance to help the community so it just made sense.” The promotions director views the Capital One Canada Cup as an ideal way to showcase Mosaic Place and an excellent opportunity to support an event that will bring so many people to the city in which he obviously takes great pride. THANKS TO SOME OF THE COOLEST FOLKS WE KNOW. Like you, we’ve loved curling for years! This is now our fourth year partnering with the CCA Season of Champions to sponsor the Capital One Canada Cup. We’ve seen first-hand just how much time, dedication and effort goes into hosting these fantastic community events.

  • 1 Curling Club Championship Eligibility
    Curling Club Championship Eligibility Requirements The Curling Club Championships Rules have been updated allowing Member Associations flexibility in staging their championships and reducing any interpretation of eligibility. The principles of this event target non-elite teams (grassroots club curlers) who regularly compete in their clubs. Teams, however, are no longer limited to being the club champion to be considered eligible. The changes will allow Member Associations to control the number of entries in their jurisdictions. For example, Curl Sask prefers to allow any eligible team to enter the regional playdowns. Or, Curl ON prefers to restrict the number of entries per club to a maximum of one. Either is acceptable. Curling Club Championship Eligibility Requirements We trust all curling rinks will respect the intent of the spirit of the Curling Club Championships by engaging their members to participate and to represent their curling club in any process leading to the provincial / territorial championships and ultimately, leading to the Canadian Curling Club Championships. The event was created for true club-based teams. The objective is to support the development of grassroots curling across Canada. Here are the eligibility requirements for events leading to the national Curling Club Championships. Curling Canada reserves the right to exclude any team that violates the spirit and intent of this event as it pertains to the rules below. 1) Participating curling clubs must be affiliated with its Provincial / Territorial Curling Association. They must be in good standing with all applicable dues to the Association paid in full. 2) Any competitor (including 5th players and spares) must be members in good standing of an affiliated curling club for the duration of the process.
