Curling: I have enjoyed curling since I was very young. Growing up in Canada, curling has always been a favorite pastime of mine. As a youth I recall watching curling on TV and playing the game as much as I could. It’s so nice to see Curling evolve into such a popular sport thanks to the Olympics and the coverage on TV. I don’t think there is a better game than curling that exemplifies sportsmanship, etiquette and provides so much fun with your teammates as well as your opponents! It really is a great game for all ages and for all skill levels. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to grab your broom, “hurry hard” and join the fun!

I have been curling for over five years now and my first year I started out as a sub. I decided the next year that I would just throw myself into it and try and skip my own team. It was a great learning experience for me and my team. The community surrounding the sport of curling is always welcoming, encouraging, and fun. The curlers are incredibly close and unique from any other sport. I have appreciated my experiences learning the game and getting to know other curlers. I love this sport and encourage everyone to try it.

This will only be my fourth year of curling and I have always curled in Couples League. I am a “newbie” compared to all the other curlers I am surrounded by. I have been so impressed with all the members and how committed they are to the sport of curling and how very helpful and inviting everyone is to new members. I have found it to be a great social sport in which everyone (at least in Couples LeagueJ) is out there to have a fun time and enjoy each others company. The socializing and eating after the match is of course why I really curl. My favorite is “the dropping of the brooms”! “Good Curling”
