For those of you who do not know what Curling is about it's an interesting Sport. Curling is a team based sport which has four members on each team. Players slide stones on a sheet of ice towards a target area which is segmented into four concentric circles. Some of you may remember the movie Men with Brooms from 2002. It was a funny movie that centred around this great sport. I have to admit that I have tried Curling and it was fun, and inexpensive. You do not need to spend a lot of money on fancy equipment like many other sports. One thing you do need is curling shoes to help glide on the ice and a broom to sweep your stone down the lane of ice to glide into the center red or blue circle.
