OCA Zones in Full Swing at BCC

Competition in a combined Ontario Curling Association Zone 1 and Zone 2 event are in action as we speak at the Brockville Country Club. Eleven teams, (8 men & 3 women teams) from Cornwall and the Ottawa Curling club make up the Zone 1 teams and six mens and 6 womens teams from Brockville and the Rideau Curling Club make up Zone 2 teams.

The Brockville team consists of BCC members; (picture from left), Skip Steve Lodge, second Rob Bushfield, third Ian Soutar and lead Nate Etherington. The BCC boys won their first game and are well into their second.

A total of 16 Zones are being played this weekend at various rinks. Two from each Zone for both mens and ladies will advance to four (4) Regionals; the eastern Ontario's regional being hosted at Cornwall early January. Two from each Regional will then advance to the Provincials to be held in Grimsby, Feb 7 & 8th. From there it is to the Tankard and Scotties.

The playoffs at the BCC this weekend will be exciting. Spectators are welcome at no charge to see who will advance, as teams try to make their way to the Dominion Tankard (Mens) and Scotties Tournament of Hearts (Women). Come watch some great curling; it will be exciting!
