Thank you to the PEICA and the Cornwall Curling Club for hosting the Atlantic University Championship in Cornwall, PEI from January 13-15, 2012.  Gayle Johnston, Board member for Curl Atlantic, will act as the Curl Atlantic liaison and will work with the Cornwall Curling Club to host this event.

The event will be a double knockout for both the men’s and women's side.  Both the A side and B side winners would then represent the Atlantic region at the CIS/CCA University Championships from March 14-18, 2012 in Welland, Ontario.  Please read the attached CIS/CCA document for planning purposes as well as the eligibility form that must be filled out and signed by your university at the time of registration.

Only one women's team and one men's team from each university will be able to put an entry into the AUC in January.  It is up to each university how you choose to select your successful teams.

Please note that the coaching requirements have changed this year at the CIS/CCA so we will adopt the same credentials.  The coach of the university team must be a minimum certified Competition Coach or Level 2 and each team must have a coach present.

Please forward this information to anyone you think may be interested in submitting a team into the championship.  Registration will be $200/team and will be due to Curl Atlantic by Tuesday, December 20th, 2011.
