his season, Utica, N.Y., and Portage, Wis., held USWCA spon- sored junior bonspiels. Te tradition continues as teams gather in curling clubs in their region to gain experience, curl, and make
lifelong friendships. Six teams from six different clubs competed at the Utica Curling Club.
Te Competitive Division in the East was won for the second year by the Jack Kelly Rink from Broomstones. Jack was joined by Chase Sinnett, Jus- tin Arndt and Clayton Kincaid. Te Developmental Division was won by Deanna Ryder, Caitlyn Ball, Daisy Ball, and Samantha Silverman of the Albany Curling Club. Portage Curling Club had a full house of junior curlers from every corner
of Wisconsin. Te competitive division was won by a local team skipped by Madison Bear and teammates Leah Harvey, Lani Dubberstein, and An- nMarie Dubberstein. Te runner-up team from nearby Poynette included Cody Falk, Ben Vorpahl, Rob Shlimovitz, and Alex Vorpahl. In the Devel- opmental Division, the top finishing team was Rachel Kawleski, Suzanna Viau, Syndie Schnieder, and Krista Domaszek from Stevens Point. Te run- ner-up team was Mitchell Armstrong, Carrie Kroner, Olivia Kroner, and Anna Armstrong from Appleton. We look forward to hearing the success from the West Region USWCA
bonspiel to be held at the Heather Curling Club in Mapleton, Minn., on March 8-10. Te USWCA is looking for member clubs to host the junior bonspiels in
the 2013-14 season and beyond. It is vital to the growth and development of our sport to promote and encourage our junior programs. Te host club may elect to have the USWCA sponsor an existing 'spiel. Te 'spiels are open to teams of juniors from the United States (under 21) and from Canada (under 19). Teams are an open format with any combination of young men and women curlers. If you are interested in hosting an event or need information about the
program, contact Leslie Armstrong, chairwoman of the USWCA Junior Bonspiel Committee, at
