A 20-year reunion party turned into a march to the International Bonspiel title at the Whitehorse Curling Club last weekend.

For the first time since 1996, Kerry Campbell hit the ice with third Lindsay Moldowan, second Tracy Oles and lead Kara Kowalyshen.

Success came immediately, capped by a 9-2 victory over Charmaine Thom in the women’s A division Sunday.

Thom had handed the Campbell rink its only blemish earlier in the four-day tournament, beating them 8-7 on Saturday afternoon.

However, Campbell and co. roared out to a 4-0 lead via steal in the first end of the final and Thom was never able to recover.

Campbell, 37, acknowledged it was a special weekend.

“This is the first time in 20 years that we’ve curled together as a team,” she said. “It was fun. We had a lot of laughs.

“I wasn’t sure how it would be after not curling for 20 years together, but we got out on the ice and it was just like we were back in juniors. ... It was a good comeback. Hopefully it won’t be another 20 years.”

In 1996, her rink finished 3-9 at the Canadian juniors in Edmonton with a roster that also included Tia-Jayne Clark.

Rhonda Horte’s rink won the women’s B division, while Ev Pasichnyk’s team took the C crown.

Meanwhile, lefty Darol Stuart capped his season with a victory of his own, downing Pat Paslawski 8-6 to win the men’s A event.

Stuart, 62, sifted his final shot through two guards to successfully remove Paslawski’s last hope and conclude a tightly played contest.

His rink – which went undefeated through the weekend – included third Herb Balsam, second Lorenzo Roberti and lead Clarence Jack.

“It’s a good way to wind up the season, for sure,” said Stuart. “Things hadn’t been going very well all season, so it was kind of nice to finally click.

“It’s a fun bonspiel, so nobody gets too wound up.”

Next week, Stuart will skip the Yukon men’s rink at the Canadian masters championships in Nova Scotia, alongside third Gord Zealand, second Bob Walker and lead Jack.

Tyler Williams’ rink won the men’s B title, while Leland Rich and George Hilderman took the C and D pools, respectively.

The event did have an international flavour, thanks to two teams that made the trek down from Fairbanks, Alaska.

Rich eventually downed Jon Johnson to win the men’s C final – an all-Alaska affair.

“It’s a long drive, but we like coming to this club because it’s a lot like our home club,” Johnson said. “Travelling’s fun and it’s the only spiel we can go to out of Alaska without taking a plane.”

Teams also came from Carmacks, Carcross as well as Atlin and Kitwanga, B.C.

The annual International Bonspiel serves as a season-ending event for the Whitehorse club. The ice will come out of the facility this week.

Club president Mark Evans said the organization is in good standing thanks to a considerable membership boost that saw numbers rise to 400.

Even more telling, Evans said, is that many of those members are the result of re-energized learn-to-curl and junior programs.
