MINDEMOYA—A huge thank you to all 16 teams who took part in the 2025 Mindemoya men’s curling bonspiel (held the first weekend of January).
The Mindemoya Curling Club is fortunate to have a great base of members as well as a wonderfully supportive business community who every year say yes to donating to our bonspiel. Williamson’s Hardware sponsors the first event, Rylan’s Clothing the second event and Castle Building Event, the third event.
Walking off with bragging rights this year (plus they get their names on Lew’s plaque) are the lads from Little Current, Team Karn.
Owen and Shirley Legge graciously agreed to create the ‘In Memory of Lew’ (Lanktree) plaque to be presented annually to the winner of the first event.

The first event winner plaque, in memory of Lew Lanktree was presented to team Karn, which included skip Ron McQuarrie, vice Jordan Chandler, second Corey Karn and lead Barry Barnes. They defeated the Henderson Boys (+1) in the first event final. The Henderson rink included skip Gord Henderson, vice Fred Henderson, second Pat Chiarello and lead Dave Henderson.
The second event saw Team McDermid defeat Team Ferguson in the final. The McDermid rink was skipped by Dave McDermid, with vice Norm Jones, second Peter Tasse and lead Lyndin Belleau. Ray Beaudry was skip, with vice Jack Ferguson, second Don Rosborough and lead Dale Baker.

Team Burt, which included skip Max Burt, vice Brian Bell, second Ted Kilpatrick and lead Kevin Burt were the champions in the third event.
Runners-up in the third event was Team Bond. Peter Bond was skip of the rink which also included vice Harold Fox, second Pierre Elliott Trudeau and third was lead JJ McCabe.
