History Combined Association Minutes 1990-91 to 1997-98
The recording of the history of the PEI Curling Association (Men's and Ladies) and curling clubs on PEI is part of a project initiated by Jerry Muzika through the PEI Curling Association with the view to preserving the curling heritage of Prince Edward Island. Minutes from the Associations and some of the curling clubs have been reviewed and excerpts taken and compiled chronologically. Some anecdotal accounts have also been included for their historical interest.
Thank you - to all who have cooperated and participated in this project. Especially to Debbie Carragher and Janet Doiron at Sport PEI, Shirley Lank, Cornwall Curling Club, Ron Atkinson, Belvedere, and all those who located minutes and entrusted them to me as I carried out my review. Any errors and/or omissions are unintentional and corrections should be passed on to me at this web site. - Jerry Muzika

D. Alex MacDonald 8 Year
The D. Alex MacDonald Mens 8 Year was hosted by the Cornwall Curling Club on March 1, 2 and 3rd. Seventeen teams participated in the spiel with the John MacDonald team from the Charlottetown Curling Club winning the event. Other members of the team were John Mullen, Darrell Kirev, and Pat Quilty. Unfortunately I was out of the province at the time but from all reports things went well during the event. At this time I wish to thank our sponsor D. Alex MacDonald Ltd. for their continued support and I hope that they will continue their support in the future. I would also like to suggest that if a site for the 8 Year has not been selected for next year that the Silver Fox in Summerside be given strong consideration. D. Alex has sponsored this event for many years and to my knowledge the spiel has not been hosted in Summerside in recent history. I would also like to thank Cornwall representatives Shirley Berry and Bob Wright for looking after the spiel all weekend.

Our Championship team from Crapaud included Skip Ted MacFadyen, Mate Bill MacFadyen, Second Mike Coady and Lead Sandy Foy. The runner-up team from the Silver Fox was skipped by Peter MacDonald, with Mate Roddy MacDonald, Second Daryell Nowlan and Leads Cliff Poirier and John Postma. Dave MacFadyen was chosen to accompany our team to the Brier as a designated substitute.
The use of time clocks for the final eights noticeably picked up the pace of the games and resulted in no problems.
Report of Second Vice President
My main responsibility as the second vice president this year was to chair the Scott Tournament of Hearts which was held in Montague January 17-20.
At this banquet for the first year, three women were presented with Recognition Awards as deserving curler builders from past years. These were Wanda Hunter, Lois Hennessey and Evelyn MacLure.
The final game of the Scott was on Monday evening with John MacGuiness and Tom Brooks presenting the Scott Plaque and pendants to the winning team of Kim Dolan, Susan McInnis, Julie Scales and Marion MacAulay, and to the runner-up team of Shelley Danks, Anne Dillon, Rosemary Butler-MacArthur and Trish MacGregor.

The Masters Bonspiel was held at the Montague Curling Club on December 13-15, 1991. The Mens side of the competition had 7 teams entered, and the Ladies consisted of three teams. The winners and runners-up of the competition won the right to travel to St. John, N.B. to compete in the Maritime Masters in February. The winners for the men were the team of Bud Lund from the Charlottetown Curling Club and for the Ladies the team of Liz MacDonald also from the Charlottetown Curling Club.
The Seniors Bonspiel for the Men and Ladies was held at the Maple Leaf Curling Club in OLeary on a very wild and stormy weekend of January 31- February 4, 1992. After a day of storm delays and many long hours of wondering if western PEI weather was ever going to give in the bonspiel ended a day off schedule.
The winner of the 16 Mens teams entered was Wayne Gardiner from the Crapaud Curling Club and the winners of the Ladies Section was Elaine Thomson also from Crapaud.

CHARLOTTETOWN CURLING CLUB
Some of the events I attended this year on behalf of our Association was an evening honoring Marion Dockendorff at the Charlottetown Curling Club and the induction to the Curling Hall of Fame evening also at the Charlottetown Curling Club for Cathy Dillon. These ladies are both deserving of the honors bestowed on them and it was a privilege to share in those occasions.
At the March meeting our Association heard a presentation from the members of the Charlottetown Curling Club to host the 1999 Scott Tournament of Hearts requesting us to sanction this event. As details become finalized announcements will be forthcoming.
Many thanks to Dawn MacFadyen and Bruce Read for preparing and submitting the nominations to Sport PEI for three deserving curling teams - Rebecca Jean MacPhee Team, Krista Cameron Team, the Peter MacDonald Team and for Coach of the Year Lloyd MacCallum. Congratulations to all our candidates. Our sport is certainly being recognized and honored more and more often.

PRESIDENTS REPORT MAY 27, 1997
This has been a busy and eventful year as President of the P.E.I.C.A. I have answered numerous phone calls dealing with Juniors, Seniors, Masters, Entries, Bonspiel dates, Canadian Curling Hall of Fame, storms, etc. Overall it has been a successful year:
Pat has done a fine job promoting the business of curling across the Island. He also organized a large paper insert.
Brenda has done a fine job also organizing Junior events. She puts a lot of time and effort into the Juniors Provincials and worked hard to represent us at the Nationals.
Barb was also busy with clients during mid-winter. Her job will be even more important and busy as we get ready to host the Scott Tournament of Hearts in 1999.
Darlene was busy as usual with correspondence, bills, phone calls, entries, etc. This is her last year as Secretary and we will soon find out how much we depended on her.
The rest of the Executive (Dawn, Bruce and Sharon) were busy with their respective responsibilities both here and at the Nationals. We also welcomed two new members on the Executive, Kevin Champion as Delegate at Large and Pix Butt as Winter Games Co-ordinator.
The low point of the year was the loss of the Belvedere Curling Club. It was frustrating to see it go because you know it will never return. The loss of this club should make all of us ask the question, what could the P.E.I.C.A. and the other clubs have done to help? Should we be spending more of our time and resources on club development? What are our priorities, goals and objectives? Finally, do we allocate an appropriate amount of time and resources to meet these objectives or do we just administer championships?
Respectfully submitted, John Griffin, President, P.E.I.C.A.

PRESIDENTS REPORT MAY 27, 1998
The past year has been both busy and exciting and I thank you for the privilege of serving as President of the PEI Curling Association.
When I started my term, the three most urgent issues to address were finding a replacement for our Secretary-Treasurer, completing our 2 Year Plan and addressing our deficit financial situation.
I am very pleased that Jim Trainor agreed to fill the position of Secretary-Treasurer. Jim worked very hard this past year learning the duties of his position and getting the books in order and I want to thank him for his efforts.
Just after the beginning of the curling season, we were disappointed to learn that our delegate- at- large, Benita Morrison, was unable to continue due to illness. Fortunately for us, Nicolle Phillips agreed to fill this position and I thank her for her interest in our sport.
This past season we also determined our two Canada Games teams. Thanks to Pix Butt, our Manager, for looking after the competition. Our teams skipped by Robyn MacPhee and Dennis Watts, along with their respective coaches, Barry Stevenson and Marilyn Sutherland, will be working hard next season to prepare for the 1999 Canada Games.
Respectfully submitted,
Dawn MacFadyen
President
