Extractions: H istory When the University of Alberta Curling Club was forming the competitive league in the summer of 2000 they also discussed starting inter-university competitive curling. Contact was made with the four western provinces to establish a relationship and further develop the idea. During this time the University of Alberta Curling Club also started looking for sponsorship of this initiative. Upon looking for sponsorship, a meeting was arranged with Terry Gibb and Arnold Asham of the Curling Suppliers of Canada. After discussing this initiative with them the University of Alberta Curling Club decided that it would be to the benefit of the event if the organized inter-university curling included all of Canada. A date was set for a National Championship, that being March 23-25, 2001. The Curling Suppliers of Canada agreed to sponsor the University of Alberta Curling Club for commencement of this undertaking and are continuing sponsors. After successful completion of the event in Edmonton it was decided by the founding committee of the event that it was in the best interest of the Championships that they be held in Brandon, Manitoba the following year.

Extractions: Assiniboia Curling Club Early History The first curling rink in Assiniboia was built in 1915 and contained two sheets of curling ice. It was located on the north of the second block on 3rd Ave. West. This curling rink burned to the ground in the early 1920's. A new four sheet curling rink was built on the south side in the second block of 3rd Ave. West. The demand for curling exceeded the capacity of this rink, so in 1949 the curling rink was extended to including six sheets of curling ice. In 1957 the curling rink company was changed into a non-profit corporation under the new title of Assiniboia Co-operative Memorial Curling Centre. In 1960 an artificial ice plant was purchased and installed. This plant was powered by a natural gas engine which was replaced by an electric powered unit in 1977. In 1971-73 the curling club replaced the old wood frame curling rink with a new concrete block, four sheet curling rink. The curling stones used in curling from 1915 to 1952 were all privately owned. In 1952 the curling club purchased new matched curling stones. These stones are still in use in the year 2000.

Extractions: Home Page Bonspiel Trail Classic in Pictures Committee ... Results History of "THE CLASSIC" The Classic Take a minute to journey back to 1976 10 Years Later In 1976 a number of members of the Nutana Curling Club organized a cash bonspiel with two main objectives. The first was to showcase the quality of curling in this country to the people of Saskatoon and the second was to provide a venue in which the best curlers could compete against the best. Although there has been a few name changes over the years because of major sponsor participation Pointoptical, Delta Bessborough, Labatt, Parktown Motor Hotel, Pacific Western, SaskTel, Canadian Airlines, Molsons, and Cantel this bonspiel continues to be referred to as "THE CLASSIC". This bonspiel has maintained a couple of features that may have set it apart from other cash spiels. A qualifying spiel has been an integral part of the Classic . Initially held a week or two prior to the spiel, it is now held on the 3rd or 4th weekend in October. The idea of this spiel was to give local teams, many of these teams would not meet the invitation criteria, a chance to qualify for the main spiel. If anyone questions the strength of the qualifying spiel, Roy Talbot of Red Deer advanced from the qualifying spiel in 1988 and proceeded to win the championship final defeating Wes Aman of Medicine Hat and won $18,000. The following is information summarized from a Star-Phoenix article dated December 12th, 1988. Roy Talbot came through the qualifying spiel the weekend prior to the Classic earning a berth out of the "C" event. In the main spiel he qualified for the championship round by again securing a spot through the "C" event. He indicated that"curling in the qualifying 'spiel probably gave him an advantage at the Classic". Dave Komosky, a Star Phoenix reporter offered this comment "he's a good guy and great curler who should have gone to the Brier several times but never did. Maybe it was dumb luck or the alignment of the stars in the heavens, but Talbot reached the final of the Brier playdowns in Alberta four times, and lost them all."

Extractions: History of Curling (History of curling as provided by the U.S. Curling Association, headquartered in Stevens Point, Wis). Curling is a team game, where all four team members' efforts contribute directly to each shot. Teams can be composed of both sexes and all ages, and like golf, curling is a lifetime sport. A curler at any skill level, like a golfer, finds his or her skills decline only gradually from about age 45 onward. A national class curler, like a pro golfer, realizes that once the physical aspects are mastered, the mental aspect of the game separates the good player from the champion. To continue with the golf analogy, it can be said that the curler who is at the height of his or her game has the same edge as the golfer who is sinking the key putts: great nerves, will to win, and mental toughness. HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE NOTES It is generally agreed that curling was developed in Scotland in the 16th century. The climate in Scotland was colder then, and curling took place on the many marshes (since drained). Scottish farmers curled on the frozen marshes using "channel stones," which were naturally smoothed by the water's action. The principles of the game were similar to the modern game, although there were many differences in rules and equipment.

The original building was a tent between two retaining walls, but it was carried away by a blizzard that winter. Another building at Wallace and Arrowhead was then converted for use, until a structure was purpose-built in 1897 at 14th Avenue East and the waterfront The Club has been located here at the DECC since 1976. It is our fourth building, but our first heated building. It can be expanded to provide up to 13 curling sheets for major events, and it the largest venue in the United States. We have hosted two World Championships , the US Olympic Trials , and numerous National events. Two DCC members have been inducted into the Curling Hall of Fame, for service to the sport. Numerous members have participated in and won State and National Championships over the years, and even a few World and Olympic Championships.

Extractions: What's New Squash Club Mainpage Curling Club Mainpage ... DRCSC Sponsors 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. .

Extractions: In the mid nineteen thirties, the citizens of the Village of Ste. 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.

Extractions: Curling For the persons among you who never saw curling before: Curling is a sport played on ice with two teams of four players. The purpose of the game is to put your stones (made out of granite, weight about 20kg) closer to the center of the "house" (the circles drawn on the ice surface) than the other team. Two stones of each player are thrown alternating by both teams for a total of sixteen stones per "end". Each end the team whose stones are closest to the center of the house gets one point for each stone that is closer than the best of the opponent. After ten ends (game time about 2:30 hours) the team with the most points wins the game. The stones do not move in a straight line. They are thrown with a turning motion and due to the friction with the ice they move along a curved path. The sweeping of the ice surface creates a thin waterfilm which lowers the friction between stone and ice. This has two effects: the stone does not slow down as quickly and runs farther before it stops and the curved path becomes straighter. Therefore the place where the stone stops and its direction can be changed while it is running without touching it. This makes top level curling to a game of precision (centimeters over a distance of 40 meters) and physical endurance (for the sweeping). On a lower level curling is however a game that can be enjoyed by male and female from the young to the old. Curling is of Scottish origin and widely popular in Canada . It has however grown internationally significantly in the last 10 years and is now played in more than thirty countries world wide. This was recognized by the International Olympic Committee by accepting curling as a full medal sport at the Olympic Winter Games in
