The Charlottetown Curling Club was reorganized in 1913 and it was decided to build a curling rink. Shares were sold in the rink and within a. few months the "roarln" game was roannL-ss of old.

Prominent in the game at that time were D. A. Mac on, H. Black, W. K. Rogers, A. E. Morrison, L. Macflvlillan, . A. Stewart, H. M. Davis, Dr. S. R. Jenkins, J. M. Hunter, R. E.
