Furthest North 5U Qualifier

The Fairbanks Curling Club started hosting this 5U qualifier each year in 2024 and we have thoroughly enjoyed hosting teams from around the country. You heard it, 5U, but we don't mean under 5 years old. This spiel is for teams who want to qualify for the national 5U event, players who have less than 5 years of curling experience.
