Evening Women
Chair: Monica Kirk 
Club – Wednesday @ 5:30 PM

Our Evening Women’s Club League is one of the most social and welcoming leagues at the club. Players register individually, and teams are drawn by the skips or formed by committee to create balanced and enjoyable competition. Teams are redrawn four times throughout the season with each draw running 5-6 weeks. This league gives members the opportunity to curl with a wide variety of fellow curlers, develop new friendships, and enjoy the true spirit of curling. Whether you are a new curler or a longtime member, the Club league offers great curling, great camaraderie, and a fun, inclusive experience for all skill levels.

Day Men
Chair: Dave Lollar 
Vice-Chair: Barry Niles
Bonspiel Co-ordinator: John Emerton
The Day Men have two popular programs: the Senior Flight league on Mondays and the Club Drop in program on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Please note that although it is a drop in format, individual curler registration is required for this league.
Evening Men
Chair: Mario Fabbro 
Flight – Tuesday @ 5 PM, 7:10 PM or 9:20 PM
Convenor: Steve White 
Evening Men includes the Tuesday evening Flight league. In this competitive league teams build their own roster and plan to curl together. This is the largest league at the club with a maximum of 42 registered teams. Each curler must complete their own registration and it is helpful for the convenor if at registration curlers indicate the names of your proposed team-mates. At the beginning of each season, preference is given to returning teams, with a registration deadline of September 15th, after which, new teams are entered if there is league capacity.
Mixed
Chair: Wayne Rice 
Snacks Committee: Mary Kelly & Dale Marecak
Mixed curling has three different league options for members. There is a competitive flight league on Friday evenings and two additional flight leagues (Friday Daytime and Sunday afternoon) where new curlers are welcome and there is focus on recreation and camaraderie.
For individual members or couples looking to join Mixed Flight, every effort will be made to accommodate you. Where there are multiple league times listed, a team schedule will alternate between these times.
For the 2026-27 season, there are two fun Mixed bonspiels at our club:
Our annual Mixed Turkey Bonspiel will be held on Saturday, December 12, 2026. This is an in house bonspiel and it includes the Turkey Shoot for a chance to win...you guessed it, a turkey!
The Empire Life Mixed Bonspiel will be held on February 19-20, 2027. This invitational event is open to the wider curling community.
Curlers register for both Mixed Curling events via our website using the Event Registration a few weeks before each event.
Open Club – Friday @ 5:30 PM or 7:45 PM
Convenor: Linda Lott 
The Open club format is perfect for new curlers who want to meet other club members as well as for individuals or couples who do not want to commit to a flight team. Games are six ends and will be scheduled at one of the two league times. Teams are composed of four curlers, it is an open league, so that a team can be any combination of female and male curlers. For couples who wish to play together, please let the convenor know and we will do our best to accommodate you. If possible, new teams are formed at the start of each new draw.
Open Stick
Chair: Kathy Jackson 
The Stick League is for curlers who no longer use a conventional delivery from down in the hack or more commonly called a slide delivery. Everyone in the league uses a curling delivery stick to deliver the rock.
Here is more information about the Canadian Stick Curling Association
The league is not restricted only to those who cannot throw from the slide position. Anyone who is willing, and interested to use a curling stick is welcome to participate. All full members who curl using a curling delivery stick are allowed to spare in the stick leagues. No experience is necessary. We will be happy to teach you!
There are two different sections, which are not mutually exclusive.
Open Doubles – Wednesday @ 7:45 PM and 9:15 PM
Convenor: Denise Mulville
Welcome to the 2026 -27 season. The Open Doubles league has a maximum registration of twenty four teams and “Open” Doubles team can be any combination of female and male players and no previous Doubles experience is necessary.
Why play Doubles? It is a fast paced, six end game and in each end only five rocks are thrown per team. Curling Canada identifies it as the fastest growing part of our sport and at RKCC we have a good mix of competition and fun. Team members must work together to plan the curling shots and take turns with throwing and sweeping. Many Doubles curlers comment on their enjoyment with the format and their active role in strategy, teamwork and the variety of shot making.
There are some rule differences from traditional four person curling: positioned rocks at the start of each end; a different free guard zone rule and the optional power play option once per game. Curling Canada has the current rules posted on their website Curling Canada – Mixed Doubles Curling Rules for Officiated Play
Games are scheduled on Wednesday evening at either 7:45 pm or 9:15 pm. A well played doubles game takes about 75 minutes so one can be home before it is too late.
Doubles is a flight format, with Divisions A, B and C and our season is divided into three draws. The flight format provides for adjustment at each break, with the top two flight teams moving up one flight and the lower two teams moving down one flight. Playoff competition is held in April with presentation of the Riverhead Doubles trophy to the championship team.
At the beginning of each season, preference is given to returning teams, with a registration deadline of September 15th, after which, new teams are entered if there is league capacity.
Teams can be registered with two members, however, you may register as a team of three. If you cannot make a game, please arrange for a spare curler. You might invite another league player to step in or check the Doubles spare list.
It is required that a spare must be a league member or registered on the spare list. Individual RKCC members can sign up on the spare list. We know that there may also be some curlers who would like to try Doubles, but may not have a team. You can add your name to the Free Agent Listing, under the Doubles category on the club website, under Members services or sign up to be a spare for the Doubles league. You are also able to register without a teammate and our committee will lend a hand to match up interested Doubles curlers.
