Along with the qualified teams, we have updates on qualifier events.
The Five-and-Under Bonspiel at the Milwaukee Curling Club did not generate enough entries so it was not held. As a result, the Rocket City Five-and-Under, scheduled for March 31-April 2, has been added as a National Qualifier Event.
The MOPAC 5-and-Under may still be rescheduled or a replacement event found.
We’re looking forward to a great Nationals in Hibbing and congratulate all the teams that have qualified so far.
