Chicago Curling Club
The Chicago Curling Club, organized in 1948, is a membership organization centered around curling. The club is recognized as one of the finest curling facilities of its size, with four sheets of ice, locker rooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, dining area, and a large social area.
Curling at the Chicago Curling Club encourages skill development for novice, intermediate, and advanced curlers. There are women's, men's, mixed, senior, junior, and open events. Generally an event includes one game per week for a set number of weeks. Many events are offered throughout the curling season; in fact, full members of the Club can curl almost every day or evening. Curlers can also participate in "bonspiels," multi-game tournaments held throughout a curling season by all curling clubs, including Chicago.
It isn't just the sport that makes curling attractive. After a game, curlers engage in the traditional "broomstacking," a period for socializing with teammates and opponents. Beyond broomstacking, curlers at CCC enjoy parties throughout the year, including a summer Cornspiel, golf outing, and the traditional celebrations marking the opening and closing of the curling season.
The curling seson begins in November and ends in March. as with all sports, it's the players that make the game, and the members of the Chicago Curling Club have created a warm and welcoming place where you can enjoy a competitive sport and make and expand friendships.
