Preparation for the 2023 - 2024 curling season is underway. The Men's curling season begins Thanksgiving week.

Men's Skip's Entry

At this moment, we have 44 registered Skip's Entry teams. Skip's Entry is our competitive league playing on Monday and Thursday nights. Don Fawthrop is our Skip's Entry Drawmaster.

Men's Rated

We have 82 curlers registered for our Men's Rated league. That's enough for 20 teams with two curlers on the wait list. Rated has three distinct draws of 7 games each on Tuesday nights. Steve Hawkshaw, the Rated Drawmaster, assembles the teams from the curlers who sign up each draw. Rated is a less competitive league where curlers of all skill levels are encouraged to play.

Men's Draft Night Thursday September 28th at 7:00 pm at Tam

Our Men's Draft Night is happening this coming Thursday the 28th of September at Tam Heather starting at 7:00 pm. This is your chance to get together with your curling friends, meet some of the new members and get ready for the new season. Everyone is welcome. The bar will be open.

If you're looking for a team or know someone who's considering playing in Skip's Entry, please come to Draft Night, or you can reply to this email. We especially need front end players. If you're trying to fill out your team roster, you should have a member of your team attend.


The Tam Heather Men's Website

The Men's Section has it's own website. It can be found at www.tamheathermens.ca. There you will find loads of information including the Rated and Skip's Entry schedules once they are published.


The Men's Committee will be keeping you fully informed about the 2023-2024 season through emails such as this and postings to the website.

Thanks for curling with us. See you at the club.
Bill Smalley for the Men's Section Committee

We are pleased to offer practice ice for our Tam Heather members to assist in getting the cobwebs off your equipment and to get the muscles back in shape for the beginning of the curling season.

Daytime practice ice

Monday Oct 2 to Friday, Oct 6 daytime will be drop-in practice, first come, first serve. Between the hours of 9:00am – 3:00pm. No booking required.

Evening/Weekend practice ice Oct 2 - Oct 7

Evenings and weekend practice ice will require booking. You must be a registered curling member for the upcoming season to book practice ice.

  1. You MUST log into the website to book practice ice. See available practice ice times and sheets on desired day(s) that you would like to practice.
  2. Practice sessions are limited to 1 hour in length.
  3. Members are asked to limit their practice to 1 session per day; those little-used curling muscles will thank you and this will help ensure practice ice time for all.
  4. Please be sure to include the names of all your practice partner(s) on your reservation.
  5. A couple of warm-up stretches while you are waiting might be a good idea.
  6. After one hour of perfecting your draw weight and enjoying being back on the ice, please exit the ice area in a timely matter for the next practice session to begin.
  7. Unfortunately, bar and kitchen service are not yet available; so, we cannot invite you to stay for a drink or something to eat. We can only say how good it was to welcome you back and ask you to depart promptly in order that we start preparations for the next practice session.

Access to ice booking will be at the top of the home page for all registered 2023/24 curling members.

Tam Heather is looking for more Club Coaches to assist in coaching clinics, coaching schools and first-time curlers who rent the ice.

If you are interested, Tam Heather will reimburse your fees paid for the course after successfully completing the course. What Tam asks in return, is that you volunteer to help out in at least 3 clinics during the 2023/24 season.

Numbers for this are limited - first come / first serve basis.

I would like to invite you and your TAM friends to TWO special meetings, both to be held on Monday September 25, 2023 in the Tam Upper Lounge with the following timetables:

6:30 PM Bar Opens (come see our newly renovated BAR and socialize with your friends before the meetings)
7:00 PM Special General Meeting to discuss Constitutional Changes. We have summarized the changes into two motions for your approval. Please see attached.

Club Information

Tam Heather, or the “Tam” as we call it, is an active friendly club located in the Morningside and 401 community of Scarborough. Tam Heather opened in 1973 as a curling club with eight sheets of ice, then two years later in 1975, the club expanded by adding five tennis courts, three of which were covered in the winter with a bubble. Thirty four years later, in 2009, a four court year-round covered structure was built.
