BDO Galt Curling Classic has quickly become a Team Middaugh favourite!

The first tourney of our year, and what a great event to start with! This exceptionally run speil has everything teams could want in the beginning of a season – lots of games, great ice conditions at both the arena & club, fantastic facilities, attentive organizers who worry about what the teams need and want, involved sponsors, media-covered Final games, and a whole lot more!

As a newly re-united team we were anxious to get started and head back to the ice after a seemingly short but productive summer as well as a successful 2006-07 season. The discovery that Cambridge now also is home to a Cora’s restaurant help make our weekend, as it’s now a Team Middaugh staple following last years stomach-stuffing daily ritual to Cora’s during Dixie C.C.’s Provincials. To top it off, another team favourite dinner at the Keg (joined by the new Mike Harris rink, whom we are sad to say would not flip a coin for the bill!) and the fact that all of us this year ended up with a bed to sleep on and more than one light in our rooms, we knew this was gonna be a good one. Seeing how Sherry didn’t have to go in search of a missing bed (“ Sorry Maam, but I’m just not sure where your bed might be!”….”Well don’t you think the headboard and imprint in the carpet might tell you there was one here a minute ago??!”), meant the weekend was a success from the start.

A semi-final finish with lots of plus’s from the weekend was a strong start to the season, we are looking forward to heading out once again to Calgary on Thanksgiving weekend for some turkey & another great tourney. Many thanks to Byron as well as the AMAZING ice crew who put in long hours to make sure all us curler’s were happy. For sure we’ll see you next year Galt!!!
