NEWS:
COVID-19 Update
Hello,
First of all we would like to sincerely
thank all our sponsors, business donors,
volunteers and curling community for your
previously pledged support and contributions
to the Canadian Police Curling Championships
that were set for April 17th, 2020. We were
so close, and things were certainly shaping
up for an incredible event!
I'm sure most have assumed, and correctly so
that we regret to advise you that at this
time the National will not be taking place
as originally planned.
As we have seen over the last couple of
days, the situation with COVID-19 has the
ability to change on an hourly basis, making
most plans for the immediate future extremly
difficult. We ask for your continued
patience and understanding, as we sort
through what this means for our National
Police Curling Championship going forward.
We have a lot to work through and discuss,
and of course we all face the unknown at
this point in regards to the ability to
possibly reschedule and host this
championship in the Fall. Should that occur,
we would be thrilled to continue our
partnerships with you.
We will continue to keep you informed going
foward. If you have any questions or
concerns do not hesitate to reach out to us.
In the meantime, please be safe
Sincere Regards,

areas best so we can expect another great

Blue"Hockley |
A little
background on Dale "Big Blue"
Hockley; he's been waiting a long
time for his Blue Bombers to finally
bring home the prize. Well it
finally happened in his life time.
Dale on the other hand has brought
home the Canadian Championship in
1985 in Whitby, and also in 1986 in
Halifax.
It appears that he had hard
time getting to the show in the
1990’s and 2000's, but may have been
busy fine tuning his team.
In Truro in 2011, Dale and
team rekindled that Championship
form following up again with another
National championship in Winnipeg in
2014, before bringing another one
home in St. John's. Dale now has
five Police Championships, only
second to Garth Mitchell’s six (1984
in Winnipeg, 1999 in Regina, 2004 in
Hamilton, 2006 in Calgary, 2007 in
Moncton and 2017 in Fredericton).
It's believed that Dale, who has now
finally retired from the RCMP, can
work on those inturns and outturns.
He's been known to play more
than 120 games in a season and has
had the privilege of representing BC
at the Canadian Seniors
Championship. Dale's been involved
at all levels of Police Curling,
hosting the Canadian Police Curling
Championship and is now entering his
sixth decade as an active police
curler, organizer and promoter of
our organization and sport. He's
earned a few nick names over the
years, Hawk, Big Blue, Dad and
now
"Gramps".
Good luck Team Canada and
Hurry Hard Boys.
Check back often
as we will be updating the site as
events are
finalized.
