Dorreene Wahl

Hall of Fame

From the moment Doreene Wahl arrived in the Yukon in 1950, she became an active member of our curling community.

Her second home was the Whitehorse Curling Club and she served on many committees. Dorreene was also the president of the Whitehorse Ladies Curling Club and represented the Yukon at the Canadian AGM that eventually led to the entry of Yukon and Northwest Territories as a member. 

No only was Dorreene active at the club level, she was engaged at the provincial and territorial level too. From 1964 to 1971 she served as President on the BC Ladies Curling Association Board as Yukon was a member of that association. WHen the Yukon/NWT Ladies Curling League was established, Dorreene became the Yukon Zone Convenor, Vice-President and brought her enthusiasm to work on many different committees.

Her drive helped her teams find success as champions of the Yukon Ladies Championships (1963 and 1969), Yukon/NWT Ladies Championships (1977-’81, ‘83) and the Arctic Winter Games (1970, ‘74 and ‘76). She never gave up and enjoyed playing at the Canadian Senior Ladies Championships in 1977, ‘79, ‘80, ‘81 and ‘83. Dorreene certainly left an impression on the ice and in the boardrooms.
