The OVCA recently hosted a U15/U18 Free Agent Clinic, and we were thrilled to see 42 young, enthusiastic players come out in search of new teammates and coaches. The energy and passion on the ice made this event truly special.

A big thank you to everyone who participated, and a special shoutout to the RCMP Curling Club for supporting this important youth curling initiative as we wrap up the season.

With so much talent and excitement, there are definitely new and exciting things ahead—bigger and better moments are on the horizon!
