On February 14, 2023, the Cornwall Curling Club welcomed 17 teams from 9 Cornwall and SDG high schools to compete in a EOSSAA qualifying tournament.
“Curling is a big sport in SDG but it’s not a well-known sport,” said Nigel Carlisle, CCVS Coach and convenor for SDG, “For these teams, a lot of them it’s their first time ever trying the sport or coming out. A lot of newbies, but we’re hoping to build a program for all of our local curling clubs to get more youth involved in the sport.”
Each team played at least two games during the one-day event, which ran from 8:30am to 4pm. The top four teams advanced to finals which took place at 2:45pm. The results were:
Men’s
Gold – Glengarry District (moving on to EOSSAA in March in Kingston)
Silver – Holy Trinity
Bronze – St. Joes
Women’s
Gold – St. Joes (moving on to EOSSAA in March in Kingston)
Silver – North Dundas
Bronze – Saint Lawrence District High School
Mixed
Gold – Heritage (moving on to EOSSAA in March in Kingston)
Silver – Holy Trinity
Bronze – Seaway
“We’re happy to see teams back on the ice and having a great day. We also want to say thanks to the Cornwall Curling Club for hosting and donating lunch for all the kids,” Carlisle told Seaway News.
In March, the teams who won gold at this Cornwall tournament will move onto EOSSAA in Kingston – Men’s: Glengarry District, Women’s: St. Joes, and Mixed: Heritage.
