Day Men
Dixie Curling Centre offers various daytime curling opportunities for men of all skill levels – from beginner to advanced. Participants are assigned to a team based on their curling experience and playing ability. The Day Men’s program offers league curling on Monday and/or Friday mornings. The day curling season is comprised of four draws and playoffs (approximately 24 games). The Wednesday league is comprised of senior men, who elect to sign up, and compete against visiting teams from other clubs. Curlers are invited to sign up for any and all available leagues. The men host four bonspiels throughout the season – The Gord Glazebrook Memorial in November, The Past Presidents in mid-January, the Bert Bertuzzi Memorial Skins Spiel in early February, and The Apple Blossom two-day spiel in mid March.
- Monday – 9:30 AM and 12:45 PM: Monday Day Men is a fun, social league that welcomes curlers of all abilities and skill levels. Athough run as a separate league, it shares the same rules and philosophy as the Friday Day Men. The season consists of four draws per year, each 6 weeks weeks in duration, plus playoffs. Teams are drafted by Skips following each series, with the intention of allowing curlers to share the experience with as many different teammates as possible. A closing luncheon is held at the end of the season in conjunction with the Friday Day Men to hand out prizes and to "wax eloquent" about all of our incredible shots!
- Wednesday (Country Gentlemen) – 12:30 PM: Individuals sign up each week on a sheet posted in the Men’s locker room and positions are filled according to playing ability.

Wednesday Night Men
This men’s league plays every Wednesday alternating between 6:50pm and 9:10pm draw times. The goal of the league is to provide the best balance of competition, growth, and fellowship in a men’s only league. Members apply on an individual basis and are then placed on a team using a ‘blind draw’ by the skips at the start of each draw. Players are assigned a playing position (lead, 2nd, vice, or skip) based on their skill level and indicated preference. Some player re-positioning may be necessary in order to complete teams for each draw. This proven method enhances the social nature of the sport while structuring teams having similar skill levels for spirited play. The league welcomes those curlers who cannot commit to every Wednesday evening to sign up for the spare list. This league operates with a capacity of 56 curlers plus spares.
Convenor – Peter Christiansen
