Provincial mixed doubles curling championship coming to Kamloops

KAMLOOPS — The 2023 B.C. mixed doubles curling championship will be played at the McArthur Island Curling Club in February. The event will run from February 7-12, 2023.

“Teams entering this open entry BC championship can expect an all-inclusive experience that includes an opening ceremony, social events, banquet, officiated play, championship ice conditions, online scoring and live-streaming of games,” reads a press release from the Curling Club.

This year, the preliminary round will be held in a triple knockout format, leading to a playoff arrangement based upon the total number of entries. The length of the event will be dependent on the total number of entries, and will be communicated after the registration deadline of December 7th, 2022.

Due to COVID-19 and the cancellation of the 2022 National Mixed Doubles Championships, the 2022 BC Mixed Doubles Championships was strongly contested with 20 teams at the Langley Curling Centre. The championship title was won by Abbotsford Curling Clubs Team of Sarah Wark and Andrew Nerpin.

The winner of this championship will qualify for the 2023 National Mixed Doubles Championships as Team BC. The National Championships will be held in Sudbury, Ontario from March 21st-26th, 2023.
