|
Skip: Mike Assad - Third: Ashley Miharjia - Second: Mike McCarville - Lead: Larissa Stevens The Multiply Employee Benefit Fund and the Nipigon Food Bank were the big winners off the ice during the 2007 Northern Ontario Provincial Mixed Curling Championships which were held at the curling club recently. A silent auction was held during the event, and a total of $1,500 was made to the benefit of the employee fund. The curling club also donated the rental monies in the amount of $575 from the annual Multiply bonspiel to the employee fund. All of the admission fees from the mixed curling championships in the amount of $400 were also donated to the Nipigon Food Bank. On the ice, there was some stiff competition and some great shot making. So much so that before the last draw there was a possibility of a 5 way tie…...again. Congratulations to the Mike Assad rink from Thunder Bay who defeated the Jeff Brown rink of Timmins 7-5 in the finals. The Assad rink will now represent Northern Ontario at the National Championships. Congratulations also go out to Mike McCarville who won the Ford Hot Shots competition which was held during the event. Nipigon is gaining a reputation for holding great curling competitions. This is backed up by an 89% approval rating of questionnaires that were distributed among the competitors. We appreciate the support of all of the spectators, the help of all of the volunteers involved, and we thank all of our sponsors for your great support. |
