> Update to 2013 - 14 Curling Schedule   (posted May 10, 2013)

The DLCC curling schedule for the 2013-14 season has been updated as a result of Curl MB adjustments to their schedule of events.
The Junior Regionals (Men and Women) were moved to one week later in the season than initially scheduled. The event will now take place at our club Friday Nov 29 through Sunday Dec 1, 2013.  League play initially scheduled for that weekend has been moved to the Friday Nov 22 to Sunday Nov 24 weekend. Leagues impacted are the Antlers (Friday only), Friday Mixed, Saturday Niners, Saturday Mixed, Anaf283, St. James Legion and Little Rocks & Bantams.

In their initial schedule for 2013 - 14, Curl MB  did not include the Junior Christmas bonspiel. Now they are planning to have a modified bonspiel in a different format - Youth Winter Open Spiel (16 & under open  and 13 & under open with limit of 16 teams each).   It was modified because the Junior Mens & Womens provincials are scheduled in that same time slot this year. Curl MB needed a single club  to host this new event and since that weekend was open on our schedule (Friday Dec 27 – Sunday Dec 29) we have offered our club as host.

As noted in the previous news posting, a month by month overview of our curling schedule is available by clicking on ..... Calendar of Events
A link to a spreadsheet version of the entire season schedule is also available on that page.
For a  specific league please visit the Leagues  page and follow the links for the league through to its own 2013-14  "Schedule" link.
The schedules are subject to change, so please remember to check back as the season approaches.

The first draft of the curling schedule for the 2013-14 season has been added to the web site.

> Scottish Men's Curling Tour Results  (posted Jan 30, 2013)

The Scottish Men's teams arrived at Deer Lodge for lunch on Sunday following their morning matches at the Granite.  They were treated to a meal featuring Manitoba pickerel.  After lunch, speeches, gift exchanges and socializing, a draw of curling started at 2 pm. The Scottish teams gathered at center ice for a rousing tune prior to settling down for some serious curling. 
Deer Lodge teams skipped by Sean Grassie, Ian Mahon, Scott Hanson and Reg Sims managed to win 3 of the 4 matches played.  The  game scores total differential was plus 3 for Canada.  This reduced the West Tour Scotts teams lead to 8 points over Western Canadian teams.  After team photos and more socializing the Scotts headed back to their hotel to prepare for an evening supper to be hosted at the Granite.
On Monday morning the Scotts were back at Deer Lodge for another round of games.  Our teams were mostly the same except for 5 subs required due to work commitments. Once again Deer Lodge managed to win 3 out of 4 matches. The points differential this time was plus 14 and put Western Canadian teams into the lead over their counterparts. The overall Strahcona Cup tour results when including the Central and Eastern tour groups see the Scotts in a commanding 250 + lead over Canada with only a few days of mathches left to go.
 Another quick lunch, speeches and socializing followed before the Scotts' bus had to leave for the airport and a flight to their next stop on the tour.     
Past President Brent Mackie was the one man team responsible for organizing the event from our end and deserves much thanks for all his efforts.  Jodie and Candace at the bar received special thanks from our visitors for keeping them well watered.

> 2012 Golf Day & Registration BBQ (posted June 3, 2012)

Golf Day 2012 On Friday June 1st, 51 golfers assembled for the 1:30 p.m. shot gun start in the annual Deer Lodge Golf Day Texas Scramble at the Assiniboine Golf Club. The sun was out to start but after about 6 holes the rains came and motivated some groups off the course to the the comfort of the Deer Lodge lounge. The weather started to clear for the last half dozen holes and the keener golfers enjoyed  the remainder of a pleasant afternoon.
The Registration BBQ at the club kicked off after the golf.  The big BBQ (courtesy of Custom Truck Sales) was available for everyone to grill their steaks to their liking. 
Following dinner the scores were tallied and organizer Dan Rosentreter handed out the prizes :
The low net team score for the day was 8 under, turned in by the Pete Coss group. 
Dan Zerbin won the prize for the  longest drive of the day (302 yards) on hole number 3. 
The most honest team  (with the highest net score ) was the Guy McLachlan group.
Closest to the pin honors went to Ryan Templeton for his shot on the par three 4th hole. 
After all the completed curling application forms were processed by Treasurer Bruce Kerr they were shuffled for the random selection for the free membership.  The lucky winner's name drawn by Jody Smart was Murray Schmidt.
A large thank you goes to Dan Rosentreter & Frank Mitchell  for organizing the day... and to Jody at the bar.
