HISTORY* of CURLING HISTOIRE* du CURLING ORIGINS ORIGINES The precise beginnings of curling will always remain a mystery! However, it is not hard to imagine a man, hundreds or even thousands of years ago, who weighed a smooth, heavy rock in his hand, then watched and listened with fascination as he launched it along a glistening bed of ice on a frozen river. This "first curler" must have been intrigued by the way the rock moved and by the grumbling sound it made as it twisted and turned. Other people in the not so distant past have heard this same sound and have applied it as a nickname for the game of curling ... it is often referred to as "the roaring game". Scots and continental Europeans have engaged in many a lively dispute as to the true origin of curling. Both claim to be founders. Did Scots invent the game, or was it imported by Flemish sportsmen who emigrated to Scotland during the reign of James VI (James I of England)? Did Europeans engage in some early form of curling, and did Scots merely adopt and enhance it? The evidence, based on works of art, contemporary writings, and archaeological finds, has sparked a number of theories, but nothing is conclusive. Some of the earliest graphic records of a game similar to curling date from 1565. Two oil paintings by the Dutch master Pieter Bruegel, entitled "Winter Landscape with Skaters and a Birdtrap" and "Hunters in the Snow", show

visit our store for great team products CURLING 101 by Timothy D. Jacques Curling, A Brief History The precise beginnings of curling are a bit of a mystery. Its origins are hotly debated between the Scots and Continental Europeans. Was it a purely Scottish invention or was it imported by Flemish travelers under the reign of King James VI? Recent discoveries of lost artwork, diaries and archaeological finds has sparked a number of theories, but nothing is conclusive. The earliest of graphic curling records center around 16 th century Dutch paintings by Pieter Bruegel and R. de Baudous. The paintings show a number of winter motifs with background characters playing a game of "ice shooting". Other paintings have children sliding wooden discs or frozen clumps of earth along a frozen pond. In Scotland, a 16 th century diary of a Scottish monk describes a challenge between two friends with "stones-on-ice". In the early 17 th century, an entry in a Glasgow Assembly records tells of a incident where a local Bishop is accused of a terrible act: He was a curler on the ice on the Sabbath Though the debate still rages on in some quarters, it's generally acknowledged that Scotland was the country that developed the game of curling in today's recognizable form.

The History of Curling The oldest artifacts from the ice sport of curling are stones, today extant but unknown, which prehistoric people slid toward a target along frozen rivers or lakes. These people may also have used primitive brooms to clear snow from the path of their sliding stones. In 1565, Holland’s Peter Breugel painted "Hunters in the Snow" and another work depicting scenes resembling modern curling. Breugel’s paintings support the premise held by some that curling originated in continental Europe. The Scots, however, are the undisputed developers and formalizers of the modern game. By 1638 curling was considered, with golf and archery (in M. H. Adamson’s poem The Muses Threnodie), to be a usual recreational pastime. After a huge growth spurt in the 19th century, curling was played by thousands in nearly every Scottish parish. Between the 16th and 20th centuries, Scotland’s climate warmed, and today the lochs rarely freeze. The climate change hindered curlers, who played outdoors on natural ice until the 20th century. Nonetheless the Scots had, by the mid-1800s, formalized curling’s rules of play and equipment and had established the "mother club" of curlers worldwide, the Royal Caledonian Curling Club. The RCCC is today the national governing body of curling in Scotland, with 20,000 active members now playing indoors on refrigerated ice. The game of curling spread throughout the world through the efforts of thousands of Scottish soldiers and émigrés. In North America, curling’s origins likely date to the late 1700s. The first documented record is the founding of the Montreal Curling Club in 1807.

For comments or problems with this site, please contact the webmaster A Brief History of Curling In 1838, the Grand Caledonian Curling Club was formed for the sole purpose of fixing standardized rules of the game for use wherever curling was played. This organization is still in existence, but is now known as the Royal Caledonian Curling Club, having been granted this title by Her Majesty the Queen in 1843. Most curling clubs worldwide, through their local associations, are affiliated with this "Mother Club." Many other countries enjoy the sport - such as Switzerland, where there are upwards of 80 clubs. Here in the highest altitudes, keen natural outdoor ice is found - especially during the months of December and January. England, Sweden, Norway, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, China, Japan, and Austrialia are among the countries also having curling clubs. In Canada, the game has flourished since the beginning of the 19th century when the Scottish regiments found themselves in Quebec where the climate in the winter was such that it could be played on the frozen lakes and rivers. Because of the difficulty in obtaining granite stones from Scotland, cast iron "stones" originally made from melted down cannon balls were used. Up until 1955, "irons" were still popular, in fact, many of the natives preferred them to granites.

Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Curling Table of Contents History How It's Played U. S. Curling Hall of Fame Other Resources History There is solid evidence that curling was a sport in both Scotland and the Low Countries during the 16th century. The oldest known curling stone, found in Scotland, bears the date 1511, and a 1560 work by the Flemish painter, Pieter Breughel, shows a busy Dutch curling scene, complete with brooms. The game was played on frozen marshes in Scotland, using "channel stones" that had been worn smooth by the action of water, while the Dutch curled on the same frozen canals where ice skating flourished. As with golf, the question of where curling was "invented" will probably never be answered, but the Scots certainly have to be credited both with developing the modern version of the sport and with promoting the game in America. Scottish immigrants organized the Royal Montreal Curling Club in 1807 and the Orchard Lake, Michigan, Club in 1832. The Grand Caledonian Curling Club (later the Royal Caledonian Curling Club) was founded in 1838 at Edinburgh to become Scotland's national governing body and to standardize rules for international play. A branch of the Royal Caledonian was established in Canada in 1852 and the Grand National Curling Club of America, also an affiliate of the Royal Caledonian, was founded in 1867.

You don't realise how small until after you've travelled. One doesn't feel that you know everything, what happens, what you feel is a sense of freedom. I went to Bermuda, met a lot of Bermudans, I was in a crowd of people again, many were ex-service men you were able to do things. I had a relation on the ship who was going to see his brother, who was studying at the time. It's difficult for me to go back, because I've never looked back, I always try to look forward in life. I wouldn't say England been good to me, but I say it made a change in my life at the time. England was the easiest country to get into and the hardest country to get out of, for the mere fact is if you working, you never earn enough money for your fare, but at the same time you always say you always have another 10 year, 15-20 years. You get yourself involved and things. I have spent most of my life in England, I have travelled quite a lot on the continent of Africa, and I went to Liberia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and North America. But England has something that you want to get back to; you can't put your finger on it.

Potomac Curling Club History The Potomac Curling Club was founded in 1961 by six Canadians, stationed in Washington DC; Bill Onysko, Al Foster, Paul Magunssen, Jack Rozee, Ben Southern, and Alice Preen. The Club first curled on rented skating ice in College Park, MD, using stones borrowed from the American Curling Foundation. After a year, we moved to another skating rink in Silver Spring, MD housed in a former Safeway store. We had three sheets of ice, all less than standard length, and no two the same length, due to the shape of the building. All of this made draw weight a tricky thing to come by. In spite of poor ice an limited curling time (one night a week), we were able to maintain an adequate and enthusiastic membership, indeed, sufficient to require a staged draw, such that each team curled only two nights out of three. We continued in this fashion until 1967 when the proprietor of the rink lost his lease and ice plant was torn up. Left without a home, our prospects did not look bright. However, after two years as an iceless curling club, we learned that Montgomery County, MD was going to open the first of two standard size skating rinks. Thus we were once again able to rent ice one night a week and resume active curling. The following year, the County opened its second rink at Cabin John Regional Park, and we moved to that facility, its location being more convenient to our scattered membership. We curled at Cabin John until December 2001, except for one year when we thought we had found better ice, but wound up with none at all.
