Huntsville Curling Club

Huntsville Curling Club is proud to cheer on Braunwyn Strickland, one of our own HCC High School curlers, as she takes on an exciting new challenge with the Ontario Junior Cross Country Ski Team!

Congratulations, Braunwyn, on this incredible achievement! Wishing you the very best as you head to Whistler for Nationals. We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way! 👏🎿🥌

Congratulations Braunwyn!

Local Huntsville honour-roll student and standout multi-sport athlete Braunwyn Strickland has officially been named to the Ontario Junior Cross Country Ski Team (OJST) for the 2026/27 season!

Fresh off a demanding seven-day, high-volume OJST training camp where she put in over 20 hours of intense training with up to three daily sessions, Strickland is proving that dedication and community spirit go hand in hand.

To help prepare for a rigorous winter on the snow, Strickland also competes in triathlon. She also participated in the Subaru Women’s Triathlon Festival in support of cancer research and support services. She also travelled to Kemptville to race in the Triathlon Ontario Draft Legal Junior Cup Series.

Looking ahead to the winter season, Strickland’s competitive calendar includes four Ontario Cup races, the Eastern Canadian Championships, and representing Muskoka and Ontario at the Nordiq Canada Ski Nationals in Whistler, BC, this coming March.

Reaching Nationals is both a physical and financial test. To properly acclimatize to the high elevation in Whistler, Strickland must arrive a full week ahead of the six-day event to train. The timeline overlaps with province-wide March Breaks and Easter, pushing the estimated total cost for the trip to roughly $10,000. Community support has already proven vital to Strickland’s athletic journey. Generous individual donors stepped up to cover the costs of her recent OJST training camp and have begun contributing toward Whistler Nationals.

Strickland has also actively earned her support by giving back locally.
