Welcome to TSA!
TSA has introduced an online booking webpage to facilitate the reserving of ice time when Zone 2 is under Orange Level restrictions. The booking page can be accessed by going to tsaplays.ca.
Welcome to our website. We strive to keep the site up-to-date and welcome your input. If you're a member, with an event or notice you'd like to share, contact Mike Buckley at tsa@nb.aibn.com and we'll post it here. It's all part of our commitment to the members who make TSA such a great club.
If you’re not a member, there’s never been a better time to join. Our newly-renovated facility has more ice than any club in the area and includes a spacious lounge, large-capacity banquet room, pro shop, locker rooms and wheelchair access to our lounge and ice.
Best of all, the club is filled with warm, friendly and just slightly competitive people. If you’re new to curling, you won’t find a more passionate group of mentors. Drop in for a visit, make some new friends and see why so many people enjoy our sport.

Message From The TSA President
Kevin Babin
|
Usually a greeting from the President is well thought out, professional and quite civilized. But if you ask anyone who knows me, professional, civilized and thinker are not descriptions which would come immediately to mind. So I’ve got to be me.
Thistle St Andrews is a fun place. Plain and simple. The people are mostly great, some more tolerable than others. As members we feel comfortable enough to point out with a quiet yell across the room when someone is out of bounds. But only if they deserve it. Sometimes the person in question may try to defend themselves which just leads to more issues. A smart judge will point out to the accused in a courtroom that they should not defend themselves, find an advocate (new word for me) who knows what they’re doing. Unfortunately we don’t have enough lawyers in the membership to answer that call. |
But if you’re more of a quiet person, you will find yourself equally at home at TSA. We support each other and you will find like minded individuals who share the same social comfort level.
So we’re much like a happy family with different personalities. There are few places I feel as comfortable than at Thistle St Andrews. Since the first day I walked in many years ago, members and staff made sure I felt at home. I’ve developed from a quiet shy individual to one who is a little more confident being heard. Some will point out that occasionally I’m heard too often. But they’re learning to appreciate my personality.
“I’m very proud to be a member of TSA.” I’m sure everyone would echo those words. We have one of the most successful curling clubs in Eastern Canada as our walls lined with the names of Champions will attest. But we have an even greater amount of non champions, people like myself who go out to have some laughs and fun competition.
We have a great social activities. We promote a non threatening environment where people can be themselves, on the ice and off. So if you’re looking for ways to enhance your life, give us a try.
To those who are more familiar with Thistle St Andrews and have visited us in the past, we look forward to welcoming you the next time we meet. The curling community is a gather of individuals who share similar interests. Each curling club has it’s own characteristics and I’ve yet to visit one where I didn’t feel welcome.
You’re welcome to join us. Come in for a visit. Say hi. Grab a seat and stay awhile. You may find it difficult to leave.
Good curling,
Kevin

COVID-19 Update - Jan. 20, 2021
As of midnight, January 19th, Zone 2 (Saint John Region) moved to the Red Level of the recovery plan. As a result, indoor sport and recreational facilities must close and that includes TSA. Our goal is to return to play as soon as we can. We will continue to monitor the situation and remain in close contact with the Sports and Recreation Branch of Public Health NB. We will provide our members with updates as they become available and thank you for your support.
Stay safe everyone and we hope to see you soon!
