The Stoughton Youth Bonspiel continues to grow over the years, with 44 kids this year.

STOUGHTON - “The Stoughton 4-H Youth bonspiel has continued to grow over the past five years,” said Jeryn Tanner, one of the 4-H leaders, and the organizers of the Stoughton 4-H Youth Bonspiel.

This year the event was held on Feb. 18 at the Stoughton Curling Rink with 44 kids taking part in the fun.

With the benches filled with parents, grandparents and friends, the kids took to the ice to have fun with their friends and other players.

Tanner said the skills of the kids have improved over the years, and adults enjoy watching the kids learn and grow in the sport.

Two tables had donated prizes that were sponsored by local businesses.

“These events are not possible without the great support they receive from the community and the businesses,” said Tanner.

Each participant received a water bottle, bag of candy and a meal ticket, which could be used at the rink's kitchen, which was open during the day.

The 11 teams were responsible for naming their entries, and they produced some interesting titles. The majority of teams were from Stoughton, and they were joined by those from Lampman and Stoughton.

Tanner was happy to see many fresh faces this year, as this means the sport is growing.

The 4-H bonspiel has been happening for over 10 years and this year the group has grown.

Kids ages five to 18 took part in the curling, which had 15 games scheduled for the day.

The round-robin format gave the teams points throughout the day, but in the end, everyone was a winner.

Free skating was also part of the day at the arena. The public was welcome to take to the ice, as the bonspiel received so many sponsors, they were able to rent the ice for the day.

Tanner is pleased with how the tournament went and how well the kids did.

They are thankful for all the support and look forward to next year’s event.
