Hamilton Victoria Club

The Hamilton Victoria Club, also known as the Hamilton Victoria Curling Club or simply "The Vic", is a curling club in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1867, it is the oldest continuously operating sporting organization in Hamilton and one of the oldest curling clubs in Canada.

History
The club was founded in 1867 as the Hamilton Mechanics Club, a name that the club retained through the 1880/1881 curling season. In October 1881, the club was renamed to become the Hamilton Caledonian Club. With membership increasing, the club purchased land for the construction of a new rink on Victoria Avenue and, in 1890, renamed again to become the Victoria Curling Rink, Company of Hamilton (Limited).

Recent history
In 2017, The Vic commemorated its 150th anniversary with a gala event at LIUNA Station.

The club's 2019–2020 season was postponed and later canceled when an ammonia issue led to the club's chiller system needing to be replaced. The club was then disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leagues
the Hamilton Victoria Club runs a wide range of leagues including an Open "Choose Your Own Team" league (Tuesdays and Wednesdays), a Mixed Competitive "Choose Your Own Team" league (Sundays), a Mixed (Open) Recreational league (Mondays), Day Ladies (Tuesdays), Day Men (Tuesdays), a Friday Social Recreational league, and a Two Person Stick league (Mondays). In addition, the club has ice for open daytime curling and youth curling. The club also welcomes two rental leagues and hosts several bonspiels throughout the season.

The club has also allowed its facilities to be used for the Little Rocks Curling Program supported by the Rotary Club.
