Curling is catching on, there are a bunch of Dr. Pepper/Dallas Stars centers down here (like 15 or more), which are just ice rinks really.

Anyhow, they've been popular places for people to go out and form curling teams and I think even leagues down here. http://www.dfwcurling.com/

How big is curling in Canada? Just curious, becuase I don't hear about it all the time, is it like bowling on ice, that sort of thing?

In Saskatchewan every town has a curling rink. I haven't had time to try it but watched when
I worked a case in small towns. Will

Heck, there's even a PC video game for curling... Yes, I've lived in both Edmonton, Alberta and now Kamloops, British Columbia and curling is very big. While I haven't played since Phys Ed in High School, most the people I work with are in a league or something! I've gone to a few national events as well...

Curling is sorta big where I live, I started in high school as we had the provincial high school competition in our city on year when I was in high school. Kept it up for a few years until I got busy with college, but once a winter I get out as at work we have a annual curling tournament one weekend in march, always a great time! Takes a little while for it to come back but its like riding a bike.
