  • Discounts on the drop-in fees for Spare Members
  • Registration in the Bench App to attend games
  • Odds and Ends nametag (if you haven’t already received one in prior years)

Curling Fees

In addition to the $20 Membership fee mentioned above, to participate in and join the curling league separate fees apply. These fees will grant you a spot on a team and be assigned to games

  • Full Season Curling: $170
  • Half Season Curling (fall or winter): $95

Full and Fall Season League members are also eligible to compete to represent Odds and Ends at the Canadian Pride Curling Championships, to be held in Winnipeg, MB, 10-14 February 2027.

Sparing and Drop-Ins

Members who have paid the $20 membership fee and who do not wish to be assigned to a team may still curl after paying a $10 spare fee per game curled. Non-members wishing to curl shall pay a drop-in fee of $15 per game.

    • Byes

    In the event of more than 48 people registering for the curling league, we may schedule a team or multiple teams to have a bye or multiple byes throughout the season. In this case, League Members assigned to a team on a bye will have first priority over other members and drop-ins to curl in any other game seeking a spare.

    Attendance & Sparing Priority

    It is expected that league members commit to curling each night of the season, but we understand that other obligations and unexpected circumstances arise. All Players are expected to indicate their presence or absence using the Bench App prior to all games. In the case of an open player position for a game, Players on a Bye will have first priority for the open position over other Members and drop-ins. In any case, Spares shall be assigned on a prioritized first-come-first-served basis determined by their registration in the Bench App.

    Member Registration

    Registration must be in writing and is facilitated by an on-line form which shall be made available at the Board’s discretion. Registration availability and deadlines will be communicated through the Association’s website, by email, and on the Association’s social media channels.

    It is important to note that:

    • Applications for membership must be in writing.
    • Membership is valid only for one Curling Season.
    • All registrations are for individual participation only. You cannot register as a full team. Every effort will be made to assign teams based on player preference as well as ensuring a mix of skill levels per team.
    • Registration for membership will open in the Fall once the season’s curling schedule is known.
    • Membership is not granted before the membership fees are paid. Participants wishing to pay in cash will not have their space reserved until payment is made.
    • Payment plans are available for those who need them. In that case, participants will not be considered registered or have their space reserved until such a plan is agreed upon and they have paid their first installment.
    • All participants (members, spares, and drop-ins) must also complete waivers required by Odds and Ends, as well as the St. John’s Curling Club.
    • Membership in Odds and Ends is not a membership of the St. John’s Curling Club.
    • The Board may, at its sole discretion, decline to grant membership to a person.
    • Membership numbers may be capped to allow for a full roster of teams based on ice availability.
    • All individuals that are registering must be adults 18+.

    League Registration

    Every effort will be made to ensure the maximum number of Members and participants based on ice availability for the duration of the curling season.

    Once registration opens, league registration spots may initially be capped at 40 or 32 persons to ensure full teams of players on 5 or 4 sheets of ice respectively (4 per team / 8 per sheet). Based on demand, the board may open additional spaces (over 48) resulting in more players than there is available space each game night. Should this be the case you may be given a bye or multiple byes throughout the season.

    League Registration Priority

    In the event of more demand than available spots per league, priority will be given as follows:

    1. Any member returning from the previous year and registering for the full 2026-2027 fall and winter curling season
    2. (for the fall season) Any member returning from the previous year registering for the fall 2026 season
    3. Non-returning members registering for the full 2026-2027 fall and winter curling season
    4. (for the winter season) Fall 2026 season members returning to the winter 2027 season
    5. (for the winter season) Any member returning from the previous year registering for the winter 2027 season
    6. Non-returning members registering for either half season

    Priority within each category will be determined by registration order
