MSCA President Britta Spiring explains delivery sticks and the unique rules of 2-person stick curling to an interested visitor at a Manitoba Stick Curling Association booth, October 3, at the Reh Fit Centre’s Health Fair.
An estimated 300-350 persons visited the event and a significant number of them stopped to talk about stick curling. Some had assumed that the purpose was to talk about floor curling, a program being launched at the Reh Fit Centre and were surprised to find that curling on-ice happens on ice. However, most were aware of ice-stick curling and appreciated the information they received.
Often, it addressed their old perceptions about delivery sticks. Many were intrigued by the idea of a new (to them) version of the sport they used to play and suggested they might at least drop in at one of the clinics being offered in October.
