It was Richmond Curling Club's turn to host the annual Presidents Cup Challenge event, where area curling clubs send their top teams to work together as a club to see who will take home the coveted Presidents Cup trophy. Huntley's men's, women's, mixed, senior and colts teams (full list below) battled it out alongside their counterparts from the Richmond, Arnprior and Almonte Curling Clubs. While the Huntley teams made a great showing to clinch second place, it was host club Richmond who captured first place.

Thank you to the Richmond Curling Club for hosting and putting on a fantastic event. And great work from all the Huntley teams who participated - next year, the rotating event returns to Huntley, where we will take full advantage of being the host club and home team to claim the trophy in 2027!

For a recap of the event results and "special awards" for some of our Huntley teams, check out the live report from Zoe Newell and Sarah Terpstra:

Update (13 March): Apologies for an oversight in excluding Cody Briggs from the list of HCC members on the All Saints team.

Congratulations to all of our youth curlers who competed this season in the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association (NCSSAA) curling championships. We are proud to see so many of our junior members representing their schools while continuing to develop their skills and passion for the sport.

This season, our junior members proudly represented All Saints High School, Earl of March High School, Sacred Heart High School, South Carleton High School, and Pierre-Desmarais High School. It is wonderful to see their commitment to curling extend beyond our club and into the broader community through school competition.

After a busy February in events across Canada and Europe, the members of Huntley’s Team Frlan (Skip Katrina Frlan, Vice Erika Wainwright, Second Samantha Wall, and Lead Lauren Norman) found a few days to rest and catch up on schoolwork before reuniting in Waterloo, ON from February 25 – March 1 to compete at the U20 Provincial Championships in Waterloo, ON. After round robin action, with five wins and two losses, the Huntley rink was set to face Team Vivier in the semifinal. It was a tight match with both teams exchanging great shots and setups but it was Team Vivier who would prevail 5–3. This great effort marks the end of a great season for Team Frlan – well done team! (And an extra congrats to Lauren Norman, who was selected by Team Wilson to join them as their Alternate when they compete at U20 Nationals in Sudbury later this month.)

With their victory at the 2025 WFG Canadian Junior Cup in December, Huntley’s Team Frlan (Skip Katrina Frlan, Vice Erika Wainwright, Second Samantha Wall, and Lead Lauren Norman) earned the opportunity to travel to Arlesheim, Switzerland to represent their country as Team Canada at the Swiss Junior Cup from February 13–15.

After landing in Zurich at 10am CET, the team travelled with chaperone and driver Jackie Cowan to Basel where they would be hosted with a Swiss Curling billet. Shortly after settling in, Team Canada would travel to the Curlingzentrum in Arlesheim for some on-ice practice and stretching out after a long day of travel.

Immediately on the heels of a great showing from Huntley’s Team Frlan in the Swiss Junior Cup from February 13–15, Skip Katrina Frlan and Vice Erika Wainwright were on the road again to rejoin their Guelph Gryphons university team in Regina to compete in the national U Sports Curling Championships from February 17–21 (which they qualified for placing first in the Ontario University Championships earlier that month).

The Guelph Gryphons would cap off the championship event with a record of three wins, four losses (only one win short of making the playoffs). Congratulations Katrina and Erika on a great university curling season!

From February 6–8, Katrina Frlan and Erika Wainwright (Skip and Vice of Huntley’s Team Frlan) travelled to Welland, ON as members of the Guelph Gryphons Varsity curling team (along with Second Aila Thompson, Lead Kelsea Marcolini and Fifth Liana Flanagan) to compete at the Ontario University Athletics Curling Championships.

After pool play, the Gryphons advanced to the knockout round as the number two seed and faced the McMaster Marauders in the final, where they forced their opponents to concede after re-taking the lead in the seventh end. For the first time in 46 years, the Guelph Gryphons captured the gold medal and the provincial title.

Katrina earned the Rookie of the Year and MVP awards at the championship and was named Guelph Athlete of the Week. The provincial win also meant that the Gryphons would be off to compete at the national U Sports Curling Championships in Regina on February 17. Congratulations Katrina and Erika – well done!

This year's Mad Hatter was back and was in high demand and aimed not to disappoint. Teams competed in 3 games of dice rolls and chance, never knowing who's going to score. We played little mini games where teams were able to earn bonus points. We especially enjoyed a game of toilette paper mummies. It was an awesome day and if you missed out this year I really hope we see you out next year, It's a one of a kind type of spiel

Toogoods Kitchen delivered fantastic food to our event which was enjoyed by all. We topped it all off with the ever awaitied washing machine hip of beef, which did not disappoint. Finally it was time to hand out our awards.  We had our Spiel Winner who won only by a single point. WInning with 96pts Team Abel (Joe Abel, Brian Norman, Adine Patterson, & Sarah Reid) sneaked out over Team Young (Norm Young, Kathy Broom, Gabriel Franzgrote & Andrea Ryan) with 95pts.

For those looking to replace throws rocks along ice to rolling balls along grass, the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club is holding Open Houses in May.

Team FRLAN capped off 2025 by competing in the World Financial Group Canadian Junior Cup in Oshawa December 27-30. The grand prize for the mens and womens champions for this spiel is a trip to Switzerland to play in the Swiss Cup. 

The rink from Huntley faced teams from Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and USA. After round robin play, the team was sitting in the middle of the pack. However with the 2nd best LSD, this would prove to be helpful in their playoff round ranking game. The team edged St-James from Point-Claire, QC 5-4 in the quarter final. They then had a redemption rematch against Stopera in the Semi-Final stopping the US squad 7-4.

The Huntley Junior Program made a strong statement at the U21 Mixed Doubles Championship in Buckingham, Quebec, on January 3rd and 4th, sending three competitive teams to the ice.

It was a true family affair for Team Do, as siblings Ayden and Yuliah joined forces and showcased great chemistry and determination. Zoe Chapman and Nate Fransham, under the guidance of coach Kat Honeywell, competed with confidence and pride throughout the event.

A big congratulations goes out to Lilly Twining and her partner Mauricio Perez of the Navy Curling Club (pictured above) for earning a bronze medal finish with an impressive performance.
