Frequently Asked Questions

 

We curl on Sunday from 4:00pm - 8:00pm. League Play generally runs September-November (Fall), January-March (Winter), and March-May (Spring) - some years we run a Summer league. Learn-to-Curls and Clinics typically occur on Sunday nights between league seasons.


The air temperature inside the Ice Chalet is usually set between 41-50°F (5-10°C) - standing around feels cold, but sweeping quickly works up a sweat.

We recommend wearing the following:

  • Flexible, athletic pants (jeans are NOT recommended).
  • Clean, flat-soled athletic shoes.
  • 2-3 layers of shirts, including long- and short-sleeve.

No - the club provides everything you need to start (and continue) curling, including step-on sliders and brooms. Experienced players often purchase equipment to improve their play, but this is not necessary.


Learn-to-curl session prices vary based on level of course (ie 101/ 102). We also offer a group rate. Please see the events page for our Learn to Curl events and cost. The cost of each league depends on season length and frequency, but we aim to keep it at (or below) $20 per night.


We begin registration for leagues 3-4 weeks before they begin. To register for a league you must pay membership dues and league fees. 


Don't worry! Our club has a wide variety of experience levels, and you will fit in no matter your skill level. We aim to put new players on teams with experienced curlers, so that the teams are better matched and beginners can learn from their teammates. Overall, curling as a sport is more social than competitive, and our club is the same way.


We require minors to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Otherwise all ages are welcome to play - our club includes teenagers and nonagenarians.


We do not currently have a pick-up curling night. Players who cannot commit to a league season are encouraged to sign up for club membership. The membership grants you access to our open ice time from 7-8pm on Wendesdays and the ability to play as a substitute during league. 


We aim to keep this website up to date, as well as our Facebook  page updated with information on leagues and bonspiels.
