    In the recently held UPEI Invitational Squash tournament, Mike Buchanan (aka Mr. B) emerged as the winner over Lester Jinks (aka Lester) after a hard fought 5 gamer.  The timing is coincidental I’m sure that he be crowned the winner so close to his idol Justin Timberlake being crowned as one of People Magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive list however, [...]

  • Blue wins closing spiel (now with pics)
    Well, the curling year at the Cornwall Curling Club ended with a bang - Blue Rocks beat Red Rocks in the Countryview Golf Course Closing Spiel. The spiel began with Red ahead on Thursday night, but Blue pulled out all the stops on Friday night to take the lead, and they held on until the end. Friday night - what a party!. We were treated to fabulous food from the chefs at the Culinary Institute, and the music from Moovin' 'N Groovin' got everyone in the mood for a great flashback to the 50's and 60's. Many Thanks to Karen and Carl Currie for their continued support of the club, to the participants for joining us in the fun, to all members who volunteered their time in any way to help us out, to Lance for the great ice (as always), and to the bartenders for putting up with all of us.

  • Proposed bylaw and constitution amendments for May 9th AGM
    Memo to Members, Cornwall Curling Club The Annual Meeting of the Cornwall Curling Club will be held on Friday, May 9th. In accordance with Article 11, Sections 2 and 3 of the present By-Laws, you are advised that the Board of Directors will present a proposed draft to amend the current By-Laws of the Club. Both the present By-Laws and the proposed amendments are posted on the Club's web site in the Member's Only section. You will note a number of changes between the two documents. The main one is a separation of the current by-laws into a Constitution and By-Laws. This was done on recommendation from Shirley Lank who has received training in writing constitutions and by-laws. Also you will note that Article 1:Section 6, Section 7, and most of Article 8 have been removed from the proposed document to more accurately reflect the present operation of the Club. Additions are indicated by "NEW", and most of the other changes are a reorganization of the by-laws to consolidate the information to the appropriate Article. Please come to the AGM prepared to speak to the proposed amendments. For expediency, the proposed draft will not be read in detail at the meeting; however questions and comments will be gladly received and the floor will be open to discussion. Thank you in advance for giving this matter your consideration. Sherren Morrison, Chair, By-Laws Committee

Disc Golf Enthusiasm runs wild in Charlottetown PEI - Squidoo Lens about Disc Golfing on PEI, from Geoff McNamara.

  • Sat., January 26th, Disc Golf Enthusiam runs wild in Charlottetown PEI updated Sat Jan 26 2008 5:15 pm CST
    This lens is about my favourite pass time. Disc Golf, or Frisbee Golf as known by some. However because of it's generic qualities the term disc golf is usually used so as not to offend those in the "Frisbee" industry. So...having said that, welcome to disc golf! For the last 5 years this sport has ruled my spare time, and dominated my thoughts on how I can improve anything related to the sport. Disc Golf started way back in the 70's when some bored people became inspired and Now there are over 2500 disc golf courses across North America alone. Television stations now have programs dedicated to the sport and advertise in publications such as Disc Golf Magazine. www.discgolftv.com is a great example of this also... Being free and easy to learn people all around the world are playing outside for a change due to the availability and ease of the sport. Charlottetown PEI is hoping to be the next city to offer this to locals and tourists alike, absolutely free! Discs usually cost around 10-15 dollars, so start up cost for the sport is insanely low which makes it affordable for any and all demographics. If you can't afford to buy a disc and "frisbee" can be used just the same. Unlike the standard golf game disc golf is played 12 months of the year further increasing the value of the sport on any community. If you are in the Charlottetown area and wish to try this great new sport, feel free to email me here, or look for my crazy blue and white van around town and ask about the sport. Chances are if you see the van near a park, I am likely playing somewhere nearby. Keeps your eyes to the sky, and watch for me near by. Be sure to check out the video below on how to play the game, but be warned that this game can be highly addictive and supports generous amounts of happiness.

  • You stay classy, Pittsburgh
    Quick post game 3 thoughts for both game 2 and 3: Here we go again. Anthem booing seems to pop up on an annual basis. Why can't some morons make the distinction between booing players and booing anthems? Do these moreons not realize that many of their players, including most of their best ones, are Canadian? Anyway, I'm not going to dignify it by spending any more time thinking or writing about
  • The "C" word
    I've been hearing the "C" word a lot over the last couple of days. "When will the Sens "C" this year?" "Time for the Sens annual "C"" "The Sens may not "C" in the first round, but they will eventually" "The Sens are "C" dogs" Etc, etc... As Bryan Murray eloquently stated yesterday, bullshit. Further proof of how many writers and broadcasters are lazy and just resort to the first shop-worn

    The buzz on the radio and in the papers today is about Eaves' fight with Tucker (I actually missed it while I was flipped to the ballgame at that point), but to me the real disgrace last night was Chad Kilger's brutal spear on Christoph Schubert's erm, German sausage so to speak. I'll be angry if Kilger doesn't land a game or two suspension (though not surprised given the blue and white goggles

  • Silver Fox to host 2009 Canadian Seniors.
    OTTAWA, April 21, 2008-The Canadian Curling Association today announced the dates and sites for the 2009 Canadian Seniors, 2009 Canadian Wheelchair and the 2010 Canadian Mixed curling championships. The 2009 Canadian senior men's and women's championships will be held, once again, at the Silver Fox Curling & Yacht Club in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, March 22-29. Prince Edward Island previously hosted the 1976 Canadian senior women's and 1982 Canadian senior men's, both in Charlottetown, before Summerside staged the 2006 Canadian Seniors, won that year by Ontario's Anne Dunn and Northern Ontario's Al Hackner, who then represented Canada at the 2007 world seniors in Edmonton, where both finished second. Manitoba has won a leading 10 Canadian senior men's crowns since the event began in 1965 in Port Arthur, Ontario. Prince Edward Island has three victories, all by skip Wen MacDonald. Ontario has won a leading 10 women's titles since the inaugural championship in 1973 in Ottawa, while ‘The Island' has yet to win one, though. The men's and women's events were held separately until being combined in 1985 in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. The 2009 winners will then represent Canada at the 2010 world seniors, at a site and date to be announced. This year's Canadian Seniors winners, Saskatchewan's Eugene Hritzuk and British Columbia's Pat Sanders, who earned their titles in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan in March, will carry Canada's colours at the 2009 world seniors, scheduled for April 24-May 3, 2009 in Dunedin, New Zealand. The 2007 Canadian senior champions, Alberta's Pat Ryan and Diane Foster, both won gold medals at the 2008 world seniors in March in Vierumäki, Finland. The 2009 Canadian Wheelchair championship will be held March 23-28 at the Lakeshore Curling Club in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia. Last month, British Columbia, skipped by Jim Armstrong, retained its national crown by edging Ontario, 8-6 in the final, held at the West Kildonan Curling Club in Winnipeg, where eight teams competed for the Canadian title. The 2010 Canadian Mixed will be hosted by the Burlington Golf & Country Club in Burlington, Ontario, November 15-22, 2009. Beginning with the 2004-05 season, The Mixed was no longer part of curling's televised Season of Champions. As such, its annual championship was moved to November of the previous year. The 2008 Canadian Mixed was held in Calgary last November and won by Alberta's Dean Ross, a leading ninth time for the province since the championship began in 1964 in Toronto. Ontario has won the Mixed twice, in 1986 by skip Dave Van Dine in Kamloops and by skip John Epping at the 2006 renewal in Whitehorse. The 2009 Canadian Mixed will be played this November in Iqaluit, Nunavut, marking the first time a national sport championship has been staged in the Territory. The 2008-09 Canadian and world curling championship calendar is now as follows: 2009 Canadian Mixed - November 9-16, 2008, Iqaluit, Nunavut 2008 Continental Cup - December 18-21, 2008, Camrose, Alberta 2009 M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors - January 31-February 8, Salmon Arm, British Columbia 2009 World Wheelchair - February 21-28, Vancouver, British Columbia 2009 Scotties Tournament of Hearts - February 21-March 1, Victoria, British Columbia 2009 World Juniors - March 5-15, Vancouver, British Columbia 2009 Tim Hortons Brier - March 7-15, Calgary, Alberta 2009 Canada Cup - March 18-22, Yorkton, Saskatchewan 2009 World Women's - March 21-29, Gangneung, Korea 2009 Canadian Seniors - March 22-29, Summerside, Prince Edward Island 2009 Canadian Wheelchair - March 23-28, Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia 2009 Ford World Men's - April 4-12, Moncton, New Brunswick 2009 World Mixed Doubles - April 18-26, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy 2009 World Seniors - April 24-May 3, Dunedin, New Zealand

  • Canada golden at world men’s
    Sunday, April 13, 2008 | Source: Canadian Curling Association GRAND FORKS, North Dakota, April 13-Canada's Kevin Martin finally won his first world title, defeating Scotland's David Murdoch, 6-3 in the gold medal final of the world men's curling championship, Sunday at Ralph Engelstad Arena. It was the 41-year-old Martin's first world crown, after years of disappointment, while settling for silver at the 1986 world juniors, 1991 worlds and 2002 Olympic Winter Games. It feels great, said Martin, a three-time Canadian men's champion, about now being called a ‘world champion'. We felt we had to come up in the low 90's (shooting percentage) to have a chance against those guys. It was a good effort by everybody. It certainly does (lift a weight off my shoulders). No question about that. It feels good. I sure appreciated the emails, all the letters, the phone calls from all the people around Canada the last week. We felt, if we just kept our emotions in check, we thought we'd have a good chance and we did. It's the 31st world men's title for Canada since the championship began in 1959. The victory also gave Canada a sweep of the women's and men's crowns this year, following Jennifer Jones's triumph in Vernon, British Columbia on March 30. Last year, Canada swept the world titles as well, with Kelly Scott winning the women's in Aomori, Japan and Glenn Howard taking the men's in Edmonton. In addition, the win gave Martin's team an automatic berth into the 2009 Tim Hortons Canadian Curling Trials, which will be held in Edmonton, December 6-13, to determine Canada's representatives for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The world men's was the third qualifying event he's won, after taking last year's Players' Championship and this year's Brier. Martin's Edmonton team of third John Morris, second Marc Kennedy and lead Ben Hebert took control early in the match, even without hammer, courtesy of a couple of Murdoch misses. After a blanked first end, Murdoch missed a runback double, allowing Martin to steal one. In the third, the 29-year-old Scottish skip hit and rolled too far with his last, counting only one instead of a possible deuce. Martin then blanked the fourth end, before taking a pair in the fifth with a nifty angle raise, chipping out a Murdoch counter, for a 3-1 lead at the break. The sixth end was blanked before another Martin steal in the seventh made it 4-1. In the eighth end, Murdoch was able to score a deuce to tighten the contest, 4-3. But in the ninth, Martin made a nose hit double to count two, after a measure, for a commanding 6-3 lead coming home, before running Murdoch out of rocks in the 10th. Today's final was a far cry from the Page 1-2 game on Friday night, when Murdoch stole singles in the seventh, ninth and 10th ends to stun Canada, 7-6. In fact, it was only Martin doing the stealing today, swiping singles in the second and seventh ends. Shooting percentages also told the story, as once again, Canada was on fire. Martin held an 89%-78% edge over Murdoch, Morris and Kennedy both recorded 95% while Hebert registered 85% for a team average of 91%, six points better than Scotland's 85%. I was a bit disappointed the way we played, actually, said Murdoch, who won the 2006 world men's title in Lowell, Massachusetts and has now added another silver to his résume, after finishing the runner-up to Canada's Randy Ferbey in 2005 as well. We had a lot of chances, especially early on. A bit of hard luck and some tough breaks. But those guys (Canada) played well all week so they deserved it. Martin wound up with a 12-2 overall record, losing only to China during the round robin, then to Scotland in the Page 1-2 game, before winning the semi-final on Saturday over Norway, prior to today's triumph. An attendance record for a United States city hosting a world curling championship was also set, with a final tally of 48,699 fans.
  • Norway wins bronze at world men’s
    Saturday, April 12, 2008 | Source: Canadian Curling Association GRAND FORKS, North Dakota, April 12-Norway won a bronze medal at the world men's curling championship Saturday evening at Ralph Engelstad Arena, defeating China, 8-3. Skipped by Oslo's Thomas Ulsrud, Norway, coming off a 5-4 loss to Canada's Kevin Martin in the semi-final Saturday afternoon, rebounded to defeat Fengchun Wang's Harbin team for the second consecutive time. Tied 2-2 after five ends, Ulsrud counted three in the sixth, then put the game away with a steal of a deuce in the seventh. It was the second bronze medal for Ulsrud at the world men's championship. In 2006, at Lowell, Massachusetts, he also won bronze after losing the semi-final to eventual gold medallist, Scotland's David Murdoch. It's a big deal for Norway, said Ulsrud. I think people are happy back home. We had a new team and a good week. Maybe we can get some good funding (with the bronze). Third place? I would take that, if you asked me before the week. Despite the loss, China enjoyed a tremendous week itself, in its world men's curling championship debut. It finished third after the round robin, with a 7-4 mark, before losing the Page 3-4 game to Norway 7-5 Friday afternoon and tonight's bronze medal affair. But the week's highlights included a 6-5 extra end win over Canada on Wednesday, handing skip Kevin Martin his only loss during the round robin, as China strung together a five-game win streak to make the playoffs. Coming on the heels of China's Bingyu Wang's silver medal at the Ford world women's last month in Vernon, British Columbia, it's been quite a ride for the country in the curling world in the past three weeks. Its fourth place finish here was also worth nine Olympic qualifying points, likely more than enough to earn China a berth in the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. On Sunday, Scotland's David Murdoch of Lockerbie faces Canada's Kevin Martin of Edmonton for the gold medal, live at 2:30 pm on CBC-TV and cbcsports.ca. Canada has won 30 world men's championships since 1959 while Scotland has captured four. Murdoch won the 2006 world men's in Lowell while Martin is still seeking his first world title.
