Oakville Curling Club

Oakville Curling Club is proud to announce the creation of the Hugh Murphy Scholarship, a new award established to support young athletes from our club as they pursue post-secondary education.

Hugh Murphy was a long-time member of the Oakville Curling Club and a friend to many. He is fondly remembered for his warm, genuine personality and his great big smile. His record as a Mixed Curling Club Champion is unmatched. He is dearly missed by all who knew him. As impressive as Hugh’s accomplishments were as a curler, his true legacy was not measured in banners—it was measured in people.

The Hugh Murphy Scholarship will provide financial assistance (up to $2000) to help reduce the cost of post-secondary education for selected recipients.

We’re delighted to announce that the 2026 Hugh Murphy Scholarship has been awarded to two youth curlers at the Oakville Curling Club who both share a long history of involvement and commitment to the club’s youth curling program. Congratulations to Sofia Pantaleo and Colsen Flemington. Sofia is in her first year at the University of Toronto, majoring in Life Sciences. Colsen is in his second year at Guelph University, in the Bachelor of Commerce program with a major in Real Estate. We wish them great success in their studies and their future curling endeavours.

Hugh’s real passion was junior curling. He believed deeply in helping young curlers grow in skill, confidence, and love for the game. He gave his time generously. He offered on-ice instruction, made introductions, opened doors for young athletes, and created opportunities for kids to build friendships and community. Many will remember Hugh for the joy and connection he brought to youth curling through events like his Orphans Bonspiel, and for the many fun, welcoming junior experiences where kids could laugh, play, and enjoy the great game of curling. The Hugh Murphy Scholarship reflects the values Hugh lived every day: kindness, encouragement, and a belief that character matters as much as competition.

It was all fun and games for the last official club curling event of the year! This year’s Margaritaville was a huge hit!!! Everyone had a super fun time. The DJ pumped out great tunes that kept everyone on the dance floor. The food was fantastic, and the curling and off-ice games were tons of fun. Thanks to everyone who attended and helped drink the bar dry!!!
