Behind the scenes, this event was made possible by a talented and dedicated host committee headed up by Nick Douce and Wayne Moore, club manager Robyn Parkes, head icemaker Nick Meister and his team, head umpire Troy Matsumiya, and an army of timers, umpires, score updaters and live-streaming assistants.

Spectators, friends and family are encouraged to pop by the Langley Curling Centre to enjoy the action live. This facility features The Horse and Ryder Pub, Langley’s home for live sports, amazing comfort food, and BC craft brew that just happens to overlook the curling club ice shed.
