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 and Tuesday and Thursday during the day. The curling club hosts a drop-in night Fridays 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.
