First they arrange for good Ice Time at a new facility not available in 1995 in Southern Overland Park, (Pepsi Ice Midwest). The manager is the same manager who started the club at the Ice Chateau. Since there were no more loaner stones available in the Stone bank, the club needed to procure 4 sheet of rocks (64 stones). Through generous donations within the club and available funds in the club account, they were able to purchase 3 sheets worth of equipment and borrowed one set from a neighboring curling club in Omaha, Nebraska. Pepsi Ice Midwest has proven to be a superior facility. A modern building with dehumidification to reduce any frost buildup, the Club is able to get good keen ice that has eluded the club in all it years of existence. The key ingredient for any successful club though is membership. In our first two year returning to the Ice, we have managed two succesful seasons of 20 weeks and have grown our innaugural bonspiel (competition between clubs) from 12 teams to 16 teams. With a surprising strong start to our 2nd Season, we nearly doubled our average attendence rate and as a result have added more ice time to 2 sessions back to back on Sunday.

Photos The oldest artifacts from the 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.

But the game has been around for awhile QUITE awhile. (Dec. 15, 2001) As a matter of fact, most historians believe that curling was played as far back as the 16th Century. Trying to date curling is difficult. History knows it's there, but recorded information is very vague. Curling's oldest artifacts are the stones which archaeologists believe werein ancient timesslid across ice to a designated target. In 1565, Hollard artist Peter Breugal painted scenes of a pasttime which resembles curling. But Scotland officially developed curling, and by 1638 curling was a popular recreational game. Ed Lukowich/U.S. Curling Coach: "ONE THING ABOUT CURLING IS THAT IT'S ALWAYS HAD A FANTASTIC SOCIAL ASPECT TO IT. AND THAT PROBABLY COMES FROM SCOTLAND IN THE OLD DAYS AND WHEN IT CAME TO CANADA AND THE U.S.. WHEN THE CURLING CLUBS WERE FORMED THERE WAS ALWAYS A VERY SOCIAL ASPECT TO BEING AROUND THE CLUB. YOU PLAYED YOUR GAME AND THEN YOU ALWAYS WENT UP TO THE CLUB AND HAD A DRINK WITH THE OPPONENT AFTER. PEOPLE WERE VERY FRIENDLY, VERY COMPETITIVE ON THE ICE, BUT ALWAYS NICE AND FRIENDLY AFTER THE MATCH." Curling has always had that socialness about it. After all, how else are you going to get a bunch of people to linger about on a frozen lake? But there have been changes...

Rose sensed a need for more fun and recreation in the community. People were feeling "down" because of dealing with hard times so to give themselves a lift, some of the families of the time decided to work together. With the help of the Delveaux's, Hopfner's, MacCarthy's, Pelletier's Thurston's and others, the Ste. Rose Curling Club was born and the first curling rink was completed in 1937. The site chosen was northwest of town, across the tracks from the railroad station, fairly close to the river. It was a long shed-style of building, enclosing a waiting room and two sheets of ice separated by a walkway, built of boards placed side by side. The beams, rafters and roof support posts gave the visual feeling of operating in two side by side tunnels. Lights were suspended from the rafters, creating pools of light down the length of the ice surface. Curling fees were very modest in early years, but equipment could be costly. Seeing curlers coming to the rink with a broom under their arm and a rock in each hand, was not unusual. People often brought their own rocks, selecting sizes and weights they liked.

History of the Philadelphia Curling Club The Philadelphia Curling Club traces its origins to an evening meeting in the winter of 1957, when a few friends gathered to discuss formation and organization of a curling club. Everyone endorsed the idea and each contributed to a fund that was used to purchase two sets of the 42 pound granite curling stones. The group curled on rented ice in Villanova for two enjoyable months that winter. In February of 1957, the Philadelphia Curling Club was formally organized. In March of 1958, the Club was incorporated with charter members. The hearty enthusiasm of these charter members is well documented by the fact that they curled under considerable constraints for six years, sharing the hockey rink in Villanova. The 1965-1966 season was the first in which the club's curlers could display their finesse on their own ice, in their own building. This was an accomplishment built on substantial work and personal contributions of time, talent, and money. A building lot was purchased from the Philadelphia Suburban Water Company in 1964 and ground was broken in November of that year. The original club house structure included two sheets of ice and a small warming room. In 1971, the clubhouse was enlarged, with the addition of a kitchen, basement locker rooms, and a new entrance. All of the lighter work went into completing and improving the building (e.g., painting, panelling, carpeting) was done by our own members.

Swedish curling, however, is much older.As early as 1846 a Scotsman named William Andrew MacFie moved over to Sweden and settled down in Uddevalla at the Swedish west coast, about 85 kilometres north of Gothenburg. He brought equipment for curling and in 1852 he founded the very first European curling club outside U.K, called "Bohuslänska Curlingklubben". That club still exists and is very active with a very good junior programme. The curlers in Uddevalla tried to introduce curling to the p eople of Gothenburgh during the 1870-ties but without any success. Instead the Swedish capital Stockholm became the new market for Swedish curling. In the end of 1900 two gentlemen with roots in Bavaria started some form of curling with wooden "curling-stones". They founded the first club in Stockholm, "Amatörföreningens Curlingklubb".

Home Tournament Teams Organisation ... Links The History of the World Junior Curling Championships Started in East York, Ontario A group of five men sitting in the lounge of the East York Curling Club in suburban Toronto in Canada is credited with the original idea in 1967 that led to the birth of the World Junior Curling Championships. Willis Blair, David Prentice, Jack Manley, Bob Kennedy and Jimmy Brown exchanged their views on how junior men's curling could be improved in their region, and they decided to organise an invitational bonspiel. The first year 1968 it was staged over two successive weekends, with the parents of East York CC and district curlers billeting the out-of-town teams. By 1970, the junior bonspiel bad grown in popularity to the point where a sponsor was needed. Thorn Press, a local printer, was enlisted to provide the initial commercial support. First foreign teams In 1971, teams from Scotland and the Canadian Forces Base in West Germany entered, and the event took on international significance. In 1972, Sweden sent a team that surprisingly won the competition. Uniroyal Ltd. entered the picture as the sponsor in 1973. With increased funding, Norway and Switzerland joined the other European countries in the field, and the makings of a world championship event were apparent. Bob Sutherland, Uniroyal´s advertising and promotions manager, guided the next step, seeking the sanction of Scotland's influential Royal Caledonian Curling Club and the International Curling Federation. Canadian and American representatives to the ICF were approached for support, and a behind the scene lobbying process led in 1974 to the approval by the ICF assembly in Berne, Switzerland, of a World Junior Curling Championship.

History of the ICA Return to home page History of the ICA About Curling News Archive ... Links The Irish Curling Association (ICA) was formed in 1994 by a group of Irish expatriates living in Scotland. Since then, it has been granted recognition by, first the Scottish Royal Caledonian Curling Club ( RCCC ), then the Irish Olympic Council and after ten years finally the European Curling Federation and the World Curling Federation . We play in a variety of events from club games to RCCC competions, Four Nation friendlies and most importantly at international level representing our country. Curling was well established in Ireland in the 1800s - the Belfast Curling Club was a founder member of the RCCC in 1841, and played friendly matches against Ardrossan Castle Curling Club. There were also clubs at Clandeboye and at Kiltonga (Newtownards). All of these clubs played on outdoor ice, but none managed to continue curling after 1904. We are re-introducing curling to Ireland after a gap of almost a century. ICA re-established the fixture between Belfast and Ardrossan Castle Curling clubs which is possibly the world’s oldest international inter-club fixture in any sport! It was first played in the 1850s, and revived in 1995 at Harvie’s Ice Rink in Ayrshire. The original medal was found in the Ardrossan trophy cabinet and now forms part of a new trophy. The new millenium saw Ardrossan curlers return to Belfast for the first time since 1861, and the ICA curlers won the trophy.

var MenuLinkedBy='AllWebMenus [4]', awmBN='620'; awmAltUrl=''; by Elmer Osgood Cappers In 1911, the Boston area introduced perhaps the greatest change to the sport of curling: for the first time in the world, a curling match was played on artificial ice made JUST for curling. The match was at the Boston Arena on St. Botoph Street, played on January 18. The first match was open to the public. There are records from the Boston area curling matches dated as early as 1835. The pond in the Boston Public Garden, Spot Pond, Fresh Pond (Cambridge), Chandler's Pond (yea Chandler) and Franklin Field all hosted regular outdoor curling matches on the frozen surfaces. Records from the hardy group included comments such as "Skip fell through the ice today but was rescued." Or "Thermometer at zero and a gale was blowing. Skip lost an ear." Or "Saturday snow. Sunday heavy snow." The first recorded visit of Scottish curlers in the Boston area was January 1938 (they took a detour from their tour of Canada). Eight matches were played at The Country Club (TCC) in Brookline. TCC won five of the eight matches. Stone count was TCC 91, Scotsmen 72. Scotsmen established a parent organization, the Grand Caledonian Curling Club in 1838, designed to standardize equipment, rules, regulations, and conduct of play. The Grand Caledonian Club was ordained in 1843, to royal stature by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Curling had been played at Brae Burn since 1898, on a pond on the club grounds. Curling lapsed at Brae Burn when indoor ice was built at the annex of the Boston Arena. When the public arena on St. Botolph burned in 1918, The Country Club put two unused stables together and continues to this day to enjoy indoor curling.

DRCSC Sponsors Start-up of the Club In the late 60's and early 70's, there was no squash in Deep River, yet a number of players had experienced the game, largely in the U.K. Play was possible at the Petawawa army base, at the modest cost of $10 per year. So on one of these trips, while relaxing at the bar, the idea of building in Deep River was raised once again. Two earlier attempts had failed. However, it was agreed that a third attempt be tried, since Wintario matching grants were available, but possibly not for much longer. Ian Glen volunteered to manage the project, Mike Watson to chase potential donors, and John Morralee to carry out drafting. A key need was someone with civil/construction background, and Jerry Lemon volunteered, while Janis Gulens organized the volunteer work parties. John Hilborn and Peter Garvey rounded out the committee. It was estimated that two courts could be built for under $72,000 with volunteer labor. Our application for a Wintario grant was rejected in early 1979, but "would be reconsidered if we applied as the Curling and Squash Club". So it was time for action. A committee was set up consisting of curlers Don Ross, Leo Buckley, and S. L. Beamish, and squash players Ian Glen, John Hilborn, and Peter Garvey. The basic concept would be that all costs would be bourn by squash players, while the land would be provided by the Curling Club, and common operating costs would be shared by an amalgamated club. A key aspect demonstrating viability was the collection of un-cashed cheques, of largely $200 from 50 potential members, for a total of $12,000.
