Even though the school break reduced the number of teams curling in the Canadian Tire Thursday Night Open League at the Northland Power Curling Centre, the Lloyd Carriere team continued its winning ways Feb. 20 to remain atop the leader board for the night.
Carriere's victory contributed to his 6-1 record for the year, staying ahead of Allan Hoffman who also won his Feb. 20 game to take him to a 5-1-1 record. Several other winning skips, including Mike Lehman, Brian Welford and Gary Southgate, are close with 5-2 records.
Other winning skips Feb. 20 were Nicole Beausoleil, Matt Taylor, Southland Bus, Doug Fehr and Herb Sutton.
The Thursday night league is one of several leagues hosted by the Twin Rivers Curling Club. It is an open and mixed league meaning that any four people competing as a team can enter and play. Other league play takes place Monday and Tuesday nights, Tuesday and Thursday during the day, and Friday nights, the Curling Club hosts a drop-in night where anyone interested in throwing a few rocks can do so. Wednesday night play sees the Business League on the ice.
The Canadian Tire Thursday night open league will continue play through the end of the season which concludes by the end of March.
