Oliver Paipoonge Firefighters have once again advanced to the nationals representing Northwestern Ontario in the Canadian Firefighters Curling Association championships.  The national bonspiel, ranking third in Canada behind only the Brier and the Scott Tournament of Hearts, will be held in Ottawa, Ontario - March 30th - April 9th, 2006. Results and Standings from the 2006 championship will be available as the games take place. More information on the bonspiel can be found at the Canadian Curling Association's website and the Canadian Firefighters Curling Championship website.

This is Dale Dubinsky's third opportunity to skip a team in the nationals, as he represented Northwestern Ontario in 2000 in Truro, Nova Scotia and again in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories in 2005 (see: 2005 Northwestern Ontario Fire Fighter Culring Champions). Three are retired firefighters from the Murillo area, while Mike Lamers is an active firefighter with OPFES.  Ken Kurtz (Dryden Fire Dept.) represents the CFCA locally and will be traveling with the team to the nationals acting as fifth man and coach.
