An experienced curler will work with you and help you to understand the game and teach you how to curl. After your on ice time, you will go over some strategy and terminology off the ice. You will also learn how to set up the ice and get it ready for curling. In addition, you will be allowed to sub in regular leagues at no additional cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m inexperienced, is that okay?
95% of us are beginners, you’ll be in good company. Learning is a large part of the league, and we’re all just here to have fun. If you have never played before, we suggest you attend one of our Learn to Curl sessions.

Can I just be a sub?
We will have a sub pool that you can sign up to be in. You will be charged a fee only when you play. The playing time will depend on demand. Per game fee: Free (Member), $20 (non-member).

What if I can’t make it, can I call a friend to sub for me?
Non-registered subs will not be allowed unless our sub pool is empty.

Why does it cost so much?
Ice time and rocks are expensive, and each game lasts for about two hours. Unfortunately, we have to pass that charge along. As we get rocks paid off, we might be able to lower the cost a bit.
