WATROUS — The Watrous Curling Club will host this year’s masters curling provincials.
There will be 12 men’s team competing for the provincial title from March 14 to March 17, while there will be eight or nine women women’s teams, depending on entries. All participants must be 60 years or older.
“It’s a huge undertaking and we’re excited to be able to host the best men's and women's teams of Saskatchewan,” said Jamie Regier, the Watrous Curling Club’s ice technician.
Watrous has hosted provincial curling before. In 2013, they hosted seniors and in the 2011-12 season, they hosted mixed provincials.
Regier said the club applied to host after he was at the last year’s masters provincials, held at the CN Curling Club.
“We’ve got a hold of CurlSask and asked if we could host it if there’s a spot open and they said, yep, you guys can host it.”
Regier said the event will bring a lot of people to Watrous.
“They’ll be stay in hotels, eat at restaurants and curl at our curling rink,” he said.
