Two Person Stick Curling is a relatively new sport which provides challenge and excitement for people of all ages on an equal and competitive basis and in a social atmosphere. Stick curling is also appropriate for people with physical disabilities such as knee, back, heart, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, ankle or foot problems. The rocks are delivered with a curling stick from a standing or sitting position (i.e. wheelchairs) enabling everyone to participate competitively.
In stick curling there are two curlers per team, who deliver their rocks with delivery sticks, with each team member delivering from opposite ends of the sheet of ice. Sweeping is allowed only from the hog line to the back of the house at the playing end. Two curlers, one from each team, alternately deliver six stones each per end, while their teammate skips that end. The roles are then reversed and the partners deliver the stones back. No stone may be removed from play until the fourth stone of each end. Games are six ends and take about an hour to play.
2 Person Stick curling and regular curling is an event at the Saskatchewan Senior Fitness Association (SSFA) - 55+ Provincial Games. You may contact Margaret Gailing-Stepp at 306-842-4807 for more information about the 55+ Games.
