Brick City Bonspiel

Save the Brick City! Registration numbers are low, and the spiel is at risk of cancellation. We'd like to try to get to 12 teams to hold the event. 

This is an open bonspiel with a 3-game guarantee.  The event runs from March 13-15 (Friday games TBD).  Food is provided on Saturday.

Curling Rules Refresher

We've had some questions come up about some of rules of play, so we thought this would be a good time for a reminder on a few things.

  • Hogline violations – Make sure you are releasing the rock prior to the leading edge of the rock touching the hogline. 
  • Burned rocks – When rocks are touched by sweepers prior to the far hogline the rock should be taken out of play immediately.  If touched after the far hogline let the rock play out and the opposing Skip has the decision to make on replacing all displaced stones that may have been hit, letting the burned stone sit where it stopped, putting it to the place they feel it would have stopped had it not been burned or removing it from play. 
  • Sweeping an opposing teams rock past the T-Line – Only one member of an opposing team can sweep a rock (or rocks) that are moving behind the T-Line. 

Spring Leagues

Spring league information is posted on the website.  Registration will be open March 2-22. Spring and summer leagues are a great time to get some extra games in, curl with some different folks, try a new format (maybe Triples!?!), or introduce new people to the game.

We will offer 2 Futures (beginner) leagues this spring. We're hoping to bring in a new wave of people fresh off the Olympic boom! Chat it up with your friends, coworkers, or relatives. Help introduce our wonderful sport of curling to more people!
