The Mixed and Senior Mixed Regionals are being played this weekend in Smith Falls, and RKCC has two teams in the hunt!In the Mixed competition, a new member to RKCC this year will be skipping a TEAM of new members ... all 4 players are enjoying their first season with RKCC!!
Lucas Parafianowicz came to our club this season from Nova Scotia, and has wasted no time in finding teammates for a possible Provincial Championship run. Interesting fact is, his entire team is made up of new RKCC members: Lucas (skip), Heather McMillan (vice), Rick Lyman (second) and Cathy Lyman (lead). Looks like our membership drives are working!!
In Senior Mixed competition, the "opposite of a new member" has once again qualified a team for Regional competition.
Alex Tosh (with a competitive curling resume as long as any in the area) captured the Senior Mixed zone title with his team of 3 other longtime, RKCC members: Alex (skip), Carole Rivington (vice), Randy Neal (second) and Nancy Tosh (lead). While the Parafianowicz team has less than 4 years of RKCC experience under their belts, the Tosh rink has a combined total of 75+ years of membership at RKCC!!
What a great weekend for RKCC ... you couldn't think up a better scenario for demonstrating the diversified membership of our club.
It all takes place this weekend at the Smith Falls Curling Club, which isn't so far away that you couldn't head up for the day to spectate. The Tosh rink will go on the ice for their first game Saturday at 9am, and the Parafianowicz rink slides off Saturday at 1pm. Follow along with updates from the OCA website.
Good Curling to both of these fine teams!!
