The Sutherland Curling Club is an historic curling club located in the Sutherland Industrial sector of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The club was established in 1910 in the village of Sutherland, which became part of Saskatoon in 1956. Today, the Sutherland is the oldest curling club in the city and one of three overall, alongside the Nutana Curling Club and the CN Curling Club.[1][2]

The club has been the home of four provincial women's championship rinks, including Vera Pezer's national champions, as well as a world junior champion.

History

[edit | edit source]

The Sutherland Curling Club was founded in 1910 in the village of Sutherland. After being rebuilt in 1922, the club burned down in 1932. The club was rebuilt in 1934 on 112th Street. The club moved to its current location on Jessop Street in 1965.

Champions

[edit | edit source]

The Vera Pezer rink was the first provincial championship team based out of the Sutherland. Pezer's team won three consecutive provincial titles from 1971 to 1973, and followed each provincial title up with a then-record three consecutive national titles, including one in Saskatoon in 1972.[3][4] The mark of three straight national titles stood until Colleen Jones' Nova Scotia rink won four straight from 2001 to 2004.[4] Just over ten years after Pezer's run, in 1984, the Lori McGeary rink became the most recent provincial champion from the club.

In 2003, Steve Laycock's Sutherland junior rink secured both national and world junior titles, the same year that Marliese Miller's Saskatoon Nutana rink did the same on the women's side—this marked the first year that two teams from the same country, let alone city, won the world junior title.[5]

In 2010, the Darren Camm rink secured the second men's Canadian Curling Club Championship for Sutherland in Charlottetown.[6][7]
