That’s a wrap on Spring Rookie League! 🥌

Congratulations to the Monday Night Rookie League! Thanks for bringing the enthusiasm every week. We can’t wait to see you back on the ice in the fall!

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear friend and fellow Windy City Curling Club member, Simon Ganet, this past Saturday evening.

Simon was a longtime member of our club and a former President whose leadership and dedication helped shape Windy City Curling into the welcoming community it is today. His impact on our club and on so many of us personally will not be forgotten. His spirit will continue to live on through our community and the many memories we shared with him on and off the ice.

To honor Simon’s extraordinary commitment to our club and its members, our Volunteer of the Year Award is named in his memory.

A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, May 13th at 2:00 PM at Congregation Etz Chaim (1710 South Highland Avenue, Lombard, IL), with shiva gatherings to follow.
