A year or so ago, I had a chance to sample a small taste curling on the Erie Canal with the Rochester Curling Club. This past month, courtesy of the Buffalo Speedskating Team and the Niagara Falls Ontario Curling Club, I got two big bites! What a great sport! Thanks, Danielle B for setting it up!
On two recent Sundays, most recently on March 20th, the Buffalo speed skaters, a couple of whom curl for teams at the Niagara Falls club (which is minutes from the Border, and features six really nice sheets of pebbled ice) had the chance to spend a couple hours each week getting a little introduction followed by the chance to play several ends. On Sunday, after two hours with the Buffalo skaters and some pizza and beer, I got a chance to fill in on team based at the Club for two more hours! What a great sport! Now, if I could learn to power with the leg alone instead of with the arm, PERHAPS the stone would stop before it passes the house! Here are the folks from one of the two lanes used by Buffalo on Sunday:
