Curling at Ontario Colleges
Curling at Ontario Colleges
Some of the 27 colleges in the Ontario college system offer curling as part of their varsity or recreational athletic programs. Varsity college teams participate in the annual Ontario College OCAA championships in both 4-person play (men’s and women’s) and additionally in mixed doubles. Team that medal at Ontario provincials may be invited (depending on location and the number of qualifying teams across the country) to the national CCCA championships, which are usually co-located with the national U-Sport university championships each year.
