The Lougheed Curling Club is one of a handful of small-town rinks that keep curling going on Highway 13 in Flagstaff County, near the Battle River Valley. Like most rural Alberta curling clubs, it runs largely on volunteer ice crews and a winter season of league play, bonspiels, and open ice time for the village of Lougheed and the farms around it.
MCSnet sponsors a free public Wi-Fi hotspot at the club, so anyone at the rink, whether waiting for a draw to start or just watching a game, can get online without relying on cell signal. It is one of several MCSnet hotspots around Lougheed, alongside the C.J. Kinross VC Royal Canadian Legion Branch 180, the Senior Citizens Welcome Club, and the outdoor rink, all sharing the same network name and password.
Use these steps to connect at Lougheed Curling Club. The network name and password are the same at every MCSnet sponsored hotspot.
No MCSnet home internet subscription is needed. Access to the building follows the venue’s opening hours and visitor policies.
Can’t see the network? Check that Wi-Fi is turned on and ask venue staff where the hotspot is available.
Small-town curling clubs like this one run on volunteers who need to coordinate leagues, ice schedules, and bonspiels, often with patchy mobile coverage in this part of Flagstaff County. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection means curlers and volunteers can stay online from the rink without burning through their own data.
