Two of the 20 curling teams playing in the Canadian Tire Thursday Open League have remained undefeated after four weeks of play in 2014.
Mike Lehman and Allan Hoffman skipped their teams to victories Jan. 30 and are looking forward to the weeks ahead to see if their winning streaks will continue. Four other skips are hot on their heels. Gary Southgate, Brian Welford, Lloyd Carriere and Terry Kjargaard are sitting with three wins and one loss each, proving that the competition is fierce this year on Thursday nights at the Northland Power Curling Centre.
In addition to Lehman, Hoffman, Southgate and Welford, other skips winning games on Jan. 30 included Ian Hamilton, Susan Wright, Bret Baptiste and Matt Taylor.
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 on Monday and Tuesday nights and Tuesday and Thursday during the day. The curling club hosts a drop-in night where anyone interested in throwing a few rocks can do so Friday nights. 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.
