After two successful seasons of “Drop-In Stick Curling”, we’re looking at starting a Stick Curling League.
This would be scheduled weekly games in the 2-person, 6 ends, 6 rocks format using the Official Stick Curling rules. The games are short – about one hour. It’s a quick moving game and lots of fun. You get to learn about strategy and also throw lots of stones. There is no sweeping allowed between the hog lines.
If you’ve never heard of 2-person Stick Curling, there is lots of information on the Canadian Stick Curling Association website:

So first we have to see if we have enough interest! Anyone who may be interested in joining, please contact me (Ruth). Then we can figure out the details of when? how often? set teams or mix up weekly? full season or two or three sessions of 5-6 weeks? Lots of choices – help create the league you want to be part of.
For you non-stick curlers, perhaps you know someone who might be interested – a former curler who gave up the sport because they couldn’t play ‘like they used to’, or a potential new curler who would fit right in to stick curling.
I’m hoping to hear from you soon. Ice will be in and leagues starting up in early November.
