Cochrane’s Twelfth Annual Super Seniors Spiel, Nov. 23-27, 2022:
Some 140 Athletes enjoyed Cochrane’s Twelfth Annual Super Seniors Spiel, Nov. 23 to 27, at the Cochrane Curling Club, within the Spray Lakes Sawmill Family Sports Centre.
“We had 4 Ladies teams, 12 Mixed, and 19 Mens teams involved. Some 48 were under age 65, 64 were between 65 and 74, and 56 were over age 75, stated Spiel Coordinator, Douglas Campbell.
“In order to encourage all ages to play, we split the 35 teams by age and by skill, & grouped them into 7 different squares, where “equals played equals”, noted Campbell. “Competitive teams ranged in age from 50 to 75; Recreational teams from 65 to 89 years. “We are proud of the fact that 9 of our players are over age 80, proving to their grandchildren & the public that physical, mental and social activity does not end at age 65!”
“We appreciate the financial support of Cochrane businesses (listed below) which allowed us to finance this event and provide a modest cash incentive (and bragging rights) for our curlers”, Campbell noted.
Event winners included 4 teams from Calgary, 2 from Canmore, 1 from Bearspaw, and 7 from Cochrane.
