Welcome to the Vancouver Senior Men's Curling League!
If you are a recently retired or semi-retired male, aged 55 or older, interested in learning how to curl or getting back to curling after a long layoff, then our league is ideal for you.  The Senior Men's Curling League has a rich history of hospitality, competition, fellowship and voluntarism in assisting the Vancouver Curling Club to meet its goals.
What we offer member curlers:

  • Two 8-end games every week, Tuesday & Thursday, a total of 46 games (a break over Christmas) starting September 27 until the end of March
  • 9-game draw rotations so that curlers can meet and curl with all other members during the season
  • Before- and after-game socializing, game-day draws and prizes
  • Christmas and season-closing bonspiels with potluck lunches
  • A full (2 x week) membership is $400 for the whole season.  A half membership (1 x week, either Tuesday or Thursday) is $246. 
  • Spares pay $10 per game.  After 5 games, a spare must become a member of the League ($30) to continue playing. Spares curl on an as-needed, as-available basis.

Please note: The Senior Men's Curling League is not a drop-in league. Membership is required.

  • We are investigating the provision of free curling instruction for beginner to advanced recreational curlers, available from a VCC  fully NCCP-certified curling instructor.
  • In previous post-curling seasons, the League has organized golf in cooperation with Mylora Golf Club and/or group walks in the Lower Mainland.
  • However, the best news of all is that, as of September 27, our League members will have the opportunity and privilege of playing on a state-of-the-art world-class high-tech ice surface in the Vancouver Olympic Centre, plus take advantage of the Hillcrest Centre for Aquatics and Fitness for a reasonable additional fee.
