2013 Rugg Spiel

Mike Rugg was an active member of the St. Paul Curling Club his entire life. In 1958

Mike started the Jr. Curling Program. This was a program dedicated to young kids at

the club to give them a time and a program that would teach them to curl with kids their

own age. In the first years of the program there were around 35 kids who participated.

Through Mike’s efforts that program grew to over 100 kids. The age range has grown to

encompass kids between 7 and 20. Mike ran the program for over 30 years and there are

many people in the club today who got their start in this program. Today the program is

as strong as ever and continues to foster curling in kids of all ages who are able to get a

rock down the ice.

Mikes dedication to Jr. curling is the reason this bonspiel is around and in honor of Mike

this bonspiel is dedicated to the Jr. curling program. All proceeds from this event are

donated to the program. So far we have managed to donate over $7000 to this program

and the kids it services.
