Windsor explores modified schedule, possible new privately run home for curling
The city of Windsor is moving ahead with a handful of directives aimed at finding solutions to an ice shortage stemming from a fire at an arena earlier this spring. Most notably, city officials will consult with the curling community about possibly modifying their 2025-2026 schedule at Capri Pizzeria Recreation Complex. On Monday, city council heard several ideas concerning ice time reallocation. One that will be explored could see curling pushed back until next spring — allowing for both ice pads at Capri be used for hockey during the fall and winter. This after curling's entire season was originally on the chopping block to make up for ice time lost with the fire above one of the rinks at the WFCU Centre. It's expected to take more than 10 months to fix the damage there meaning the one pad is completely unusable. The loss of the rink has ice schedulers scrambling to find roughly 50 hours of ice time for local hockey and figure skating. Privately run option? Central Park Athletics (CPA) is a privately run multi-sport complex just east of the Windsor assembly plant and close the E.C. Row Expressway. Owners James and Leigh King say they have around 20 hours of ice-time available on weekends across their two skating rinks. They're also willing to discuss the possibility of converting one of their indoor soccer spaces — directly beside their two ice pads — into four curling sheets, as a long-term investment for the city. James King told council the space is big enough and requires the necessary refrigeration. And that's something, he says, could be done before October. "We would have an isolated facility next to the ice rinks — it would be a separate pad," said King. "It would have its own amenities, washrooms … parking. Everything you need to have in a standalone facility." The facility is also licensed to sell alcoholic beverages. Kipp Van Kuren, representing Windsor Minor Hockey Association (WMHA) at the meeting, has worked with the Kings for a handful of years because the association runs out of CPA. "I've seen it in action how quickly James King can get things going," he said. Coun. Fred Francis supported exploring the idea further with ongoing discussions between city administration and the Kings. However, he thought doing so for this year wasn't possible. "That is what I would consider an act of God," he said, referring being able to have a new curling rink up and running by October. Whatever timelines end up being sorted out between the local curlers and city, one municipal staff member suggested "ice could be converted in a week," back to curling sheets. Terry Fink, who represents a Windsor group focused on saving the sport long-term in the city, called a modified curling season at Capri as a "fair resolution." "In principle, I think that may be a wonderful opportunity for us to continue to curl," he said before city council.
