In order for all curlers to enjoy their experience, we ask that you follow these simple rules of etiquette when playing at our club.
Entering The Building
- Outside footwear is not allowed in the lounge, stairs leading to the lounge, locker area or arena
- When entering the building, head immediately downstairs and remove your outside footwear, leaving them on the boot trays
- Enter the locker area and put on your clean / curling shoes
- Use the far (west) stairwell to enter the lounge, being cautious not to step on the sticky mat at the top of the stairs
On The Ice
- Wear appropriate clothing and footwear to avoid dirt or debris falling onto the ice surface
- When entering the arena, use the door at the top of the west stairwell (the one used to enter the lounge)
- Use the sticky mat in front of the door to the arena to clean debris from the bottom of your shoes before entering the arena
- Minimize hand and knee contact with the ice surface to avoid causing blemishes that may affect rock travel. Even a few seconds of contact can damage the ice!
- Wear loose, layered clothing allowing you to adjust comfort levels while curling
Game Play
- Always be mindful of other curlers and rocks in motion while on the ice surface
- Treat all members with respect
- Do not overthrow rocks. Throw only as hard as needed to make the shot
- Always prevent rocks from hitting the boards, hacks or travelling onto other sheets
- Clean your brush heads frequently during the game
After The Game
- Make sure to return all Club equipment to its proper location after each game. We have limited equipment that is used by multiple leagues
- Exit the arena through the same door you entered
