Make new friends and meet your neighbours - curling is one of the most social and fastest-growing winter sports in the world! Our curling season begins with clinics and practice ice in late September, the season starts up mid-October, and runs until mid-April.
No worries! We have brooms and sliders for day use, Learn to Curl clinics, and practice ice available!
What are our recomendations for your first time curling?
- Wear layered clothing
- Have clean running-shoes (indoor use only)
- Protective headgear is optional - but we do recommend it to keep you safe until you feel confident walking along the ice.
After you've joined us in loving the sport, you may consider looking into purchasing:
- A pair of curling shoes
- A curling broom
Leagues and Clinics
After you've become a member, you will need to sign up separately for each league you would like to participate in. League registration is available online during the first 3 weeks of September for both of our curling leagues. Social Draw Curling can accomodate later registrations.
Clinics are available at the start of the season, with 2 mandatory sessions for all new curlers. Clinics start in late September and are offered on a variety of dates and times for you to choose from over the course of a 2 week period.
BGCC Has 2 Types Of Curling Leagues To Play In:
Social Draw Curling
Our Social Draw leagues are the perfect fit for any Curlers looking to play the sport who love to meet lots of new people, just have fun, or are too busy to commit to playing for the whole season. These leagues operate using 4 different 5-week long series'. For every series, our Curling Comittee puts together new balanced teams that consist of both new and experienced curlers to keep the game fair and balanced while also allowing you the opportunity to get to know new people. BGCC offers you the option of participating in Men's, Ladies', and Mixed Social Draw leagues. Each series has a games fee for that league, typically ranging from $15-30 (per series, per person). This fee goes towards prizes and other league expenses.
- The first series started on: October 15
- The second series starts on: November 19
- The third series starts on: January 4
- The final series starts on: February 21
Going to be busy this upcoming series but still looking to curl?
Sign up as a Spare! Rather than committing to the 5-weeks that make up a series and fussing with finding replacements for the games you are unable to make, substitute for players who cannot participate in their scheduled games. In our experience, Spares are always needed and you would be able to play as often as you would like.
Competitive CYOT (Choose Your Own Team) Curling
These year-long leagues have you playing with the same team in a compeitive atmosphere throughout the BGCC Curling Season. The season gets wrapped up with a fierce playoff schedule. The winners of each season are imortallized in BGCC history on plaques on the walls of our curling facility. BGCC offers you the option of participating in the following CYOT leagues: Men's, Ladies', Mixed Ladder, and Open. Each league has its own games fee.
