Local hidden gem between High Park and Roncesvalles. Great spot for groups and a good time curling. The food was surprisingly tasty.

Great club for curling and the ice is good. I also enjoyed the lounge area. The ice sheets overlaps each other by about a foot, which could cause some potential tricky situations when playing.
