A Bonspiel is a curling tournament, consisting of several games, often held on a weekend. Until the 20th century most bonspiels were held outdoors, on a frozen freshwater loch. Today almost all bonspiels are held indoors on specially prepared artificial ice. Though it is not mandatory, curling teams at bonspiels often wear themed costumes.
The MadLab Hurry Hard Bonspiel will be held at Hillcrest (4575 Clancy Loranger Way, Vancouver) on Saturday, February 28th from 4:30pm-6:30pm. The cost is $15 per person. We will have 2 coaches teaching us how to play the game as well as ice safety. 10-12 teams of 4 will then go head-to-head to see which MadLabbers rule the curl!

Kids and non-MadLab members are welcome.
Come on out, have some good, old fashioned fun and try your hand at a very Canadian sport. Best team costume gets a prize. You don’t need a full team to come though–we will set you up.
