Rookie ROCKS

November 10th marked the first Rookie Rocks Bonspiel, an event sponsored by ASHAM to promote curling to a new generation and support KidSport Manitoba. Held at the Fort Garry Curling Club, the bonspiel aimed to create a buzz around curling for new players while also teaching introductory technique.
All players were provided with ASHAM gear and encouraged to dress in themes within their team – and yes, prizes were awarded for best dressed. The ice was graced by a variety of characters such as wild cats, anchor people and French maids.

A great turn out made the sold-out event a huge success and fun was had by all. Not only was it a great party, but all the funds proceeds went directly to KidSport Manitoba.

Rookie Rocks was without doubt a hit, and we hope to hold more events in the future to engage new players and encourage interest into the exciting game of curling. So we want to hear from you – Did you miss out on the first Rookie Rocks? Are you itching for there to be another rookie event? Let us know!
