New condenser, who dis?

This new bit of machinery will help our ice plant run more effectively from next season!

We have an update from the Ice Committee on the Header Pipe:

Project has gone well with very few hiccups. The last pic is what we were facing at the start of the project with 6-8“ of old sludge and paint from many years but we successfully got the trench clean so Black and Mac could start laying the new header pipe.

We are sad to share news that one of our great champions, Ellen Brennan, has died aged 91. Our deepest sympathies to Heidi, Glen, Daniel, Kathleen, and her entire extended family.

Obituary for Ellen Faye (Osgood) Brennan | Fundy Funeral Home Celebrate the life of Ellen Brennan and join others in sharing memories, stories, and condolences.

Congratulations to Team Kelly and Coach Judy Blanchard!!! Great pairing announcement.

We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to Team Kelly — our new coach, Judy Blanchard!

Judy is a highly decorated curler with an incredible resume that includes multiple Scotties and Senior appearances, and one World Championship. Her experience and knowledge of the game as a competitor will be a huge asset to our team and something we know will help push us to the next level.

Between her competitive mindset, teaching background, and fun, calm demeanor, she brings exactly the kind of energy and leadership we were looking to add to our team. We’re excited to learn from her, work with her, and have her in our corner this season.

Excited to officially welcome Judy to the squad! 🥌

Another happy customer! That's the last draw for this season, but we will pick things back up in the fall. Our first draw next season will begin on October 3, so your chance to win is only a summer away. Enjoy your summer!
