UPDATED-The Passing of Steve Jamieson

It is with our deepest regret that we announce that our leauge member, Steve Jamieson, has lost his brave fight against cancer this past Wednesday. Steve was friends with many of our league members, both on and off the ice. For those who had the opportunity to play with Steve, you'll know what an excellent curler and respectful sportsman he was. His passing is a significant loss, not only to our curling family, but to the community at large. We send our thoughts and prayers to Steve's family and his many friends.
