5th Annual Prime & Optimists Bonspiel Photo Gallery
We are very proud and excited to have reached our 5th year of running these concurrent Junior bonspiels that see both some of the best junior teams in the province, and some of the up-and-coming new teams, compete in what is considered one of the premier junior events every year.
This year, the Prime Invitational will have a stellar field, including many returning past provincial champions; Lee Merklinger's Ottawa rink; defending Ontario Junior Men's and Women's champions Mark Bice and Stephanie Gray (respectively); John Epping; and our own Julie Reddick (3 time provincial champion). The Optimists Open 'Spiel will host teams from Sudbury, Lindsay, London, and the greater GTA.
Thanksgiving weekend (October 10th - 12th) promises to deliver some very good curling at our club, as these rising stars compete for cash and prizes. Come out and see just how good these young curlers are. Our thanks to our sponsors for making this event possible: the Optimist Club of Oakville; Maple Leaf Prime Chicken; and Glazier Opticians.
