Curling is a sport built on mutual respect for both opponents and teammates.

It is a game of etiquette, both on and off the ice, and requires us to uphold standards of conduct that contribute to a positive atmosphere for everyone involved.

We are all here to enjoy the game and have fun. Please support your fellow curlers with words of encouragement and positivity.

Remember, no one intentionally misses a shot, burns a rock, or attempts to hog a stone.

We come from various skill levels, abilities, and experiences, and it is important to approach the game with understanding and patience.

We ask that you refrain from actions such as slamming your broom on the ice, kicking rocks, or engaging in outbursts of frustration, including swearing.

These actions not only detract from the game but can also negatively impact the experience for others.

Even when experiencing frustration with your own performance, please keep in mind that negative behavior can be interpreted in ways that diminish the enjoyment of others.

Such outbursts can leave members with a sour impression of the game, potentially causing them to leave with a negative view of the club.

Curling is a sport for everyone, and we should strive to create an environment where all feel welcome and respected.

Let’s work together to maintain the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie that defines our game.
