It’s been a long time coming, but championship curling is about to come roaring onto the ice in Canada’s Tournament Capital.

From January 4th to 9th, the 2022 Scotties BC Women’s Curling Championship, Presented by Best Western & 2022 BC Men’s Curling Championship, will display the best in provincial curling, offer up some very lively competition, and in the end crown this year’s men’s and women’s BC champions.

Our BC champions will then go on to represent BC at Canada’s national championships, The Scotties Tournament of Hearts (January 28- February 6, in Thunder Bay, ON) and The Tim Hortons Brier (March 4 to 13th, in Lethbridge, AB)

This week, at the Kamloops Curling Club, twelve men’s teams and eight women’s teams will battle it out for the opportunity to wear the coveted heart-shaped BC champion’s patch, as well as the BC championship jacket.

Due to current COVID-19 conditions, it will unfortunately not be possible to have spectators at the championships. That doesn’t mean that fans would be able to see the games, though – competition draws will simulcast live on our Curl BC YouTube channel, and semi-finals and final games will be broadcast live on CHEK-TV and streamed on cbcsports.ca.

After the cancellation of last year’s championships due to COVID-19, it was, at times, an uphill battle to make this year’s event happen. It all came together, though, through the tireless efforts of the event’s organizing committee, led by Linda Bolton and Brenda Nordin, our ice technicians, officials, volunteers, and of course our athletes.
