100 Years ago today a group of enthusiastic sports lovers from the North Hill gathered for the first time. We'll take you back in time to that very first meeting which helped create the club that we all enjoy today. Please take a moment to celebrate and appreciate the vision of those individuals 100 years ago.

CLUB HISTORY
A meeting was held on February 27, 1925 in the Balmoral School to discuss the formation of a North Hill Athletic Club. Motions were made to organize a sports club encompassing curling, skating, quoiting, field sports, baseball, football, tennis, swimming, golfing and hockey. An executive meeting noted plans for a charter, stock issue ($3.00 each), as well as a membership drive. On June 15th 1925, the Articles of Association for The North Hill Community and Athletic Association were officially registered.
​
By October of 1925, the executive proceeded with grading the site for the hockey rink and in November appointed a caretaker of the skating rink; primarily due to his past experience with the Victoria Curling Club (A south Calgary community). On December 1, 1925 the Executive held their first meeting in their own club room, which at present was also being used as a ladies cloak room.
​
Skating and hockey were the main winter sports for another year. The sale of shares and whist drives built the funds; until in late 1927 four sheets of natural ice were ready for the curlers (fees $5.00 per year).
