It’s Dan Holowaychuk Night at the St. Albert Curling Club.
The St. Albert curler will be inducted into the club’s wall of fame in the Friendly Giant Lounge. The ceremony starts at 8:30 p.m.
Holowaychuk is the first curler to enter the wall of fame since the inaugural 2011 ceremony honouring Hec Gervais, Don McKenzie, Cathy King, Jackie Rae Greening, Scott Pfeifer and Marc Kennedy.
Holowaychuk’s career is wall-of-fame-worthy. The St. Albert resident served as the alternate for the legendary Ferbey Four during their era of provincial, Brier and world championships. In 1989 he skipped a St. Albert men’s rink to victory at the Edmonton and area Tournament of Champions. He has also curled in a long list of provincials and last year was the second for the Wade White rink of St. Albert, the senior (50-plus) Alberta champions and national bronze medallists.
