Barry Hutchings (he/him)

Past President

Barry started curling three-and-a-half years ago, in a Learn to Curl with Anthony and Christina D’Arco a week before Christmas. After the class was done, they asked Barry if he wanted to join the league that started in two weeks. He said, "Yes!" 

With Greg Torkleson and Anthony D'Arco as Skip and Vice, Hutchings' team won the Club Championship! "WOW, this curling thing is easy, NOT!" he says with a laugh. "I just love the people, the new friendships, and the camaraderie of WCC."

Barry's Favorite Bonspiel: Wauwautosa Mens Spiel
"Gotta love the Boat Races... I JUST ABOUT WON!!"

Eric Baudais (he/him)

Treasurer

Eric joined Windy City Curling in 2019 when the dedicated facility first opened. He was looking for a curling club because he recently moved to the Chicago area. That's where he found a wonderful club with great people and awesome curling!

Baudais started curling in Tulsa, Oklahoma during an Olympic Learn to Curl in 2018. He remembers being a first-time curler and taking five tries before having enough balance to throw a rock. He became addicted to curling and curled as much as he could.

Eric's other hobbies include rennacting, video games, and baking; just ask the Sunday morning crew! He has a newborn daughter, and tries to spend as much time with her.

Eric's Favorite Bonspiel: WCC's Food Truck Bonspiel!

Director At-Large (Communications)

Eric Reithel has been a proud member of Windy City Curling since 2014, when WCC hit the ice for its second-ever week of play at Rocket Ice Arena. He's been a blogger, instructor, and league coordinator for WCC, among many other positions.
His proudest curling achievement to date is creating "The Drag Effect" bonspiel for LGBTQ+ curlers and allies At Windy City Curling. This is only the third Pridespiel held every year in the United States, and the first-ever in the Midwest.
When not at WCC, you can often find Eric traveling to multiple Pride- and Beer-themed bonspiels across North America. This is his fourth year on the WCC Board.
