Learn to Curl
What to expect at an Open House...
Set aside about 2 hours to learn to curl. It all starts off with a brief off ice instruction including curling terminology. Once on the ice, instructors will go over the basics of curling including throwing a stone and sweeping. Participants are urged to wear layered, loose clothing and sneakers. All other equipment is provided. Be sure to arrive 15 mins before the scheduled start time and check our map to enter the mall after 6pm on Sundays.

Our Open Houses start with a short off ice session and then practice with an instructor on the ice. At the end of the session, a short mock game will be played prepare you for joining a league.
