The Series

The Ottawa Colts Curling Series (OCCS) is a season long set of bonspiels for teams of curlers with less than 5 years of experience looking to both learn and play semi-competitive events. We give new curlers the opportunity to play a variety of clubs and ice surfaces that they may not otherwise, while also experiencing the exciting curling tradition in the Ottawa region. If you and your team are looking for opportunities to compete in fun bonspiels against other beginner teams these are the events for you!

The Season
