Team Oliver Wins Men’s Club Championship!

Wayne Oliver and his team of Roger Belton, Jim McMillan, and Trevor Singbeil once again captured the AMCC’s club championship by defeating the Michael Johnson rink in the A-B final. The final was a close game but Oliver had the hammer in the last end and made a delicate come-around to a rock that was buried in the back eight-foot ring. He tapped the Johnson rock back far enough for the win to claim the club championship for the third time in the last four years. Congratulations guys! Team Oliver will now represent AMCC at the Dominion Winnipeg Region Playoffs at the Wildewood curling club on April 03-08. The Winner of the Winnipeg Region Playoffs will earn the right to go to Portage la Prairie on April 9-11 for the Dominion Provincial Club Championship and a possible berth in the Dominion National Club Championship in Charlottetown in November 2010.

The Men's draws are now complete and the Final Standings and Final Club Championship draw is ready for viewing.

Which Way to the Curling Club?

In an E-Mail exchange with the AMCC, John English of Birmingham, Alabama reports that he and his trusty corn broom are experiencing great difficulties finding a pebbled surface where he can apply the curling skills acquired in the early 70s while his father was stationed with the US Air Force in Winnipeg. Watching Olympic curling brought back fond memories of when he attended Ness Junior High and curled intramural at the AMCC. John indicates that his relatively short stay in Winnipeg was so meaningful that his workshop at home features a Manitoba Shrine complete with the corn broom, a 1964 Farm License Plate, and Victoriaville Pro Phil Esposito signature hockey stick. When queried as to whether or not he was willing to share his story with others John quickly replied - “It would be an honor and a privilege to have our exchange added to the Club Website and Newsletter. One of the really hard things about growing up in the Military was having great experiences, such as learning to curl and then having to give these things up. This exchange of E-Mails has made me realize I still have a connection to something important I thought long gone.” From a Club, City and Provincial perspective its very gratifying to know that John’s curling experience at the Home of Championships continues to mean so much to him. It would be great if he and the corn broom could make a special guest appearance at some point in the future. To quote our friend from Alabama - “if the Jamaicans can bobsled, why not an Alabamian curler?”

Clothing Line

The club will be offering an AMCC clothing line this year. This is a great way to help support your club and look great at the same time with a new mock neck or turtle neck sweater, fleece, or jacket! Samples will be available on registration night.
