The event was the first, large-scale, full-roster bonspiel for the club since COVID restrictions shuttered most group events.
"It was great to see all the teams on the ice again," said club spokesperson Brenda Robitaille.
The weekend's tournament also saw a return to a social night for teams, with a meal and dance with live music from local band Last Minute.
The A Event winners were Lac La Biche's Corey Leach rink, beating Athabasca's Trevor Martin team. The B Event finals saw Cold Lake's Rodney Oullette team defeat Randy Andrashewski's Lac La Biche team, and the C Event went to Lac La Biche's Ken Beniuk's rink, beating Boyle's Josh Wiselka rink.
