There were 13 dedicated players out last night, compared to the 28+ players that were out on Mon evening. Nice to see new players out, like Thomas and the Troung family. Three courts were used from 8 to 10 PM. Play through each court cycled quickly, with little time for rest. For example, you would sit down for a brief rest and then another court would end their game and ask you to join. Memorable games for me were had against Saeed and Christian, two of our group's more comp

TANTRAMAR PICKLEBALL TUESDAY 25 NOVEMBER 2025 SUMMARY – STOMPIN’ TOM CONNORS EDITION By all accounts, pickleball is flourishing on Prince Edward Island. There are courts all over the place, from Cornwall to Kensington, Brackley Beach to Charlottetown and Morell. And all points in between, as they say. This summer just past, I had the opportunity to visit the Stompin’ Tom Connors Museum in Skinner’s Pond. And, much to my surprise, there wasn’t a mention of pickleball anywhere.

TANTRAMAR PICKLEBALL FRIDAY 21 NOVEMBER 2025 SUMMARY – SEPTUAGENARIAN EDITION How many sports are there in which a team of 70 somethings can stand toe-to-toe with a team of millennials and, hey, the outcome is in doubt? Well, not many. Which is one of the brilliant things about our game – it is truly cross-generational! And I think that the expression “toe-to-toe” may have been created with the invention of pickleball in mind! Have you ever stood with your partner at the kitc

Hi Pickleballers, Trying to improve on Logan's Tuesday update is an impossible task, so I won't even try to be as literary has he was. Today there were 21 players using 5 courts. Playing constantly was almost a given. I played 5 games. Lost the first 4 and won the last 11 to 8 with Frank as my partner. Lots of regulars attended: Pam, Mona and Kirk, Jocelyn, Frank, Kelly, Brent, Debbie, Pamela, etc. Jocelyn played so well, that she wouldn't tell me her scores. Well done I g

Hi Pickleballers, TANTRAMAR PICKLEBALL SUMMARY “It was the best of times…” Well, not the very very best best. But hey, pretty good! At our peak, we had six courts in operation with four players waiting. Not bad, not bad. Antoine Dubois (aka Tony Wood) gave us a quick lesson in the translation of names, after which I insisted on being called Lhogan MacAtkinson. No one seemed to care. But it gave the morning a bit of old world charm, if only for me. Games were fast, spirited an

Hi Pickleballers, We started off with four courts at 9:00 which grew to all six courts set up and being used before 10:00 then reduced to four, and three courts were busy right up to 12:00, and when most of us were leaving Lisa and Charlene were battling it out with Steve and Dan... a little family competition??? There were a few of our regulars missing, so with six courts full speaks volumes for the popularity of this game! I wanted to post a short recap because of a great

Hi Pickleballers, So after more than 4 weeks away (due to a nasty virus), Magi was back on the courts to find 28 players filling all 6 courts! It was certainly great to have her back. It was a lovely afternoon. There were many players that we didn’t recognize and some, like Allen, that I hadn’t seen since the start of the summer. It is great to see new players. I checked in with a few people, but nobody played an overtime game, all the contests seemed to be fairly even. I

Hi all Pickleball started at 9:00 with three courts which quickly increased to five courts until shortly after 11:00 when courts were reduced back to three and when I was leaving at shortly after 12:00 two courts were still busy... so we are a very active group... Terry was back donning protective glasses... this time without Melissa, so no family competition today! With so many players, one rotates after each game but are unable to play with or against everyone... It is alwa

Hi all We started this morning at the MTA gym at 9:00 with three courts, which quickly increased to four courts, and by close to 10:00, five courts were set up and being played on with a couple of players ready to rotate in...so approximately 22 players. We welcomed Daniel Dupuis back out from Memramcook. Play continued mainly on three courts until close to 12:00, with the final game between Tim and Steve versus Daniel and I with Tim and Steve battling back from an early defi

Hi all When the weather outside is not good, you go inside and have fun, and that must be what our pickleball group said this morning, having all six courts set up to play... Well, one of the courts was only used for a couple of games, but five courts were busy until almost 12 o'clock! There were so many out that the paddle organizer was set up, but really only used for a short while... With some people coming and going, I am sure there were close to thirty out this morning..

Hi all I didn't know what to expect for our time today since it is Hallowe'en but the numbers did not disappoint with four courts busy most of the afternoon with a couple on the bench in the ready to rotate in. Our system works quite well so that players have the opportunity to play with and against the many great players we have. It was great to see so many of our regulars but some were missing, possibly preparing for some Trick or Treaters tonight! and talking about Trick o

Thanks go to members of our Pickleball Group who hosted the Girls Get Active Group organized by the Recreation Department... Fun was the focus of the day... A big thank you goes to all involved... Catherine Richard, Monique Leblanc, myself, Tim Hicks, Kelly Stone, Heather Estabrooks (and Pam Vokey who picked up hot chocolate and timbits) Pickle On! Frank
