Club Memberships
Annual membership dues help us maintain our world class ice, facilities and daily operations. Memberships are required to participate in leagues, tournaments and practice time and provide eligibility to participate in local, regional and national bonspiels.
As a non-profit club that fosters sportsmanship, service, friendship and tradition, we ask all Members to take part in building our community by volunteering a few times a year. There are many easy ways to get involved and this also allows us to keep our fees as low as possible.
Memberships are annual and auto-renew on August 15 each year. More details are found in our Member Handbook.
