whAT Is CURlInG?
Curling is a team game, where all four team members’ efforts contribute
directly to each shot. Teams can be composed of both sexes and all ages, and
like golf, curling is a lifetime sport.
A curler at any skill level, like a golfer, finds that his or her skills decline only
gradually from about age 45 onward. A national class curler, like the pro golfer,
realizes that once the physical aspects are mastered, the mental aspect of the
game separates the good player from the champion.
To continue with the golf analogy, it can be said that the curler who is at
the height of his or her game has the same edge as the golfer who is sinking
the key putts: great nerves, will to win, and mental toughness.
historical and Descriptive notes
It is generally agreed that curling was developed in Scotland in the 16th
century. The climate in Scotland was colder then, and curling took place on the
many marshes (since drained). Scottish farmers curled on the frozen marshes
using “channel stones,” which were naturally smoothed by the water’s action.
The principles of the game were similar to the modern game, although there
were many differences in rules and equipment.
The spirit of curling evolved in the early centuries in Scotland. It is this spirit
of honorable competition followed by egalitarian sociality that made curling a
special game in curlers’ minds. An excerpt from “The Spirit of Curling:”
“Curlers play to win but never to humble their opponents. A true curler
would prefer to lose rather than win unfairly ... while the main object of the
game is to determine the relative skill of the players, the spirit of the game
demands good sportsmanship, kindly feeling, and honorable conduct.”
Scottish immigrants brought the game with them to North America, first to
Canada around 1759, then to the United States around 1832. By 1855, curling
clubs flourished in New York City, Detroit, Milwaukee and Portage, Wis. Curling
in the rest of Europe developed in the 20th century.
Two developments ensured that the modern game would be marked by a
high degree of physical skill and mental toughness:
1. the standardization of the stone, and
2. indoor, refrigerated ice.
The modern stone is round, and about 42 pounds. Curling is played, for the
most part, on indoor, refrigerated ice, which helps ensure a fast, consistent and
predictable playing surface.
The Game
A game is made up of 10 ends (like innings). An end consists of each team
member shooting (delivering) two rocks, or stones, alternately with the oppo-
nent’s player at the same position. When all 16 rocks have been delivered, the
score for that end is determined.
A 12-foot circle (the “house”) is the scoring area. For each stone closer to
the center of the circles (the tee) than any of the opponent’s, one point is
scored. The team scoring shoots first in the next end, giving the opponent the
“hammer,” or last shot of that end. Teams will sometimes ignore taking a point
to retain the next end’s hammer.
The sheet of ice (playing surface) is 16' 5" wide and 150 feet long, set up to
accommodate play in both directions. Most curling takes place in curling clubs,
which commonly have two to six sheets of ice. Hockey arenas are also used as
temporary curling rinks; they accommodate up to six sheets.
All four players shoot two rocks per end, beginning with the player referred
to as the “lead.” The “second” shoots next, and then the “third,” or “vice skip.”
The skip usually shoots the last rocks, and calls the strategy for the game. The
skip decides on shot selection, and “reads” the curl in the ice for the shooter.
The shooter must be accurate in three functions:
1. Aim (at the broom)
2. “Weight” (velocity imparted to the stone)
3. Imparting the correct “handle” (curl) to each shot
Shots are called either to stop at a certain point on the sheet (“draws” or
“guards”) or to have enough weight to strike another rock out of play (“take-
outs” or “hit and rolls”).

?whAT Is CURlInG?
Each running stone curls, or curves, as it proceeds down the ice based on
the twist given the handle during the delivery. The amount of curl varies based
on the ice surface and the speed of the rock. The curl allows for better control
of the stone and also provides a means to shoot around guards.
sweeping—with either a straw broom, hog hair or horse hair brush, or syn-
thetic brush—adds the element of fitness to curling because, to be effective,
sweeping must be very vigorous. Sweeping slightly melts the ice, which
reduces the friction between the running stone and the ice. The result is that
the stone will curl less, and slide farther.
Sweeping is called for when the stone has not been delivered firmly
enough, and/or when the shot is aimed “narrow,” or inside the broom target.
Sweeping can help a rock slide up to an additional 15 feet. Top teams control
most shots by using aim and weight “within the sweeping zone.”
strategy is a major part of curling. Shots are played with an eye to the last
rocks of each end, not simply placed at the center of the circles. The strategy
can be rather complex. Innovations are constantly being made and adopted
when the innovators win, similar to other sports where strategy and the game
plan plays a major role.
It is common for games between national-class teams to be very close,
with both skips jockeying for the last shot in the last end.
ThE AbCs Of CURlInG
In curling, all four players of a team are involved in each of their team’s
shots. While the skip, or captain, holds his or her broom for a target and calls
the strategy for the shooter, the other two players sweep the stone’s path
when deemed necessary.
Sweeping clears the ice of any frost or debris that might slow the stone
down or send it off course. Sweeping also polishes the ice, creating a thin layer
of moisture that reduces friction and allows the rock to go farther and
straighter (up to 15 feet farther with vigorous sweeping).
The “sweepers” are in the best position to judge whether or not the deliv-
ered stone has enough momentum to reach its target, while the person in the
house can best judge the line and call for sweeping if the stone is curling too
much.
Sweeping is allowed between the tee lines, and beyond the far tee line by
only one player per team. All four players may sweep at the same time when
the stone is between the tee lines.
The player in charge of the house may sweep an opponent’s stone once it
passes the tee line. Players may also sweep any of their own stones that have
been set into motion by the delivered stone.
By the 1990s, the skill of top players had progressed to such a point that,
once a team got a small lead, they were simply knocking out one another’s
rocks repeatedly, which translated to “boring games” for many spectators. To
spice up the game, the World Curling Federation introduced the Free Guard
Zone Rule (or Moncton Rule, since it was first tested in competition in
Moncton, New Brunswick).
Simply put, the Free Guard Zone Rule specifies that players are allowed to
bump—but not remove—the first four rocks of a given end if they come to rest
between the hog line and the tee line, excluding the house (i.e., the guard
zone). Any rock touching the tee line outside the house, or biting (touching) the
12-foot ring at the front of the house, is not considered to be in the Free Guard
Zone and may be taken out by the opposing lead player.
When teams take advantage of the Free Guard Zone, there generally are
more rocks in play throughout an end, and teams have a much better chance
of coming back from a deficit. In turn, strategies have evolved that are signifi-
cantly different from the old “hit” game, and the sport has become much more
interesting for the majority of spectators, as well as for the players.

Clothing: Loose fitting, several layers, sweaters, pants, kilts, caps. Matching
uniforms for many competitions.
shoes: Special curling shoes are common but not mandatory. Shoes should
grip the ice well for walking. Smooth soles are easy to clean to minimize dirt on
the ice. For the delivery, extremely slippery surfaces such as Teflon are used on
the sliding foot to generate a long, smooth-sliding follow through. Some “slid-
ers” are built into shoes, while others are strapped on over the sole.
broom/brush: Commercially manufactured for curling. The straw brooms,
synthetic brushes, and short bristled brushes are all effective.
stones: Made of a rare, close and evenly grained granite quarried primarily
on Scotland’s Ailsa Craig, with handles attached. Standardized, weighing 42
pounds, and provided by the curling clubs.

Curling is mostly concentrated in countries with colder climates. Canada has
the most curlers of all, with nearly 1.2 million of the estimated 1.5 million in
the world. Only four other countries have more than 10,000 curlers—Japan,
Scotland, Switzerland and the USA. The 50 countries listed below have curling
organizations that belong to the World Curling Federation:

whO CURls, AnD whERE?
Curling opportunities exist for males and females of all age groups. Twenty-
four-pound “junior stones” are available for younger children to use. The game
has equal appeal as both a social outlet and a competitive sport.
Recreational curling competitions, called “bonspiels,” are organized for
men, women, couples, seniors and juniors. Local clubs have regular leagues for
these same constituencies. “Open” events feature curlers of all ages and both
genders competing in one competition.
Curlers come from all walks of life, and value the special camaraderie inte-
gral to the sport.
Curling is played in more than 40 states across the United States. It is a win-
ter sport, but it is being played more and more in warmer climates with the
growth of indoor ice facilities.
There are approximately 16,000 curlers in the U.S., and 165 clubs across the
U.S. Wisconsin has the largest concentration of curlers, with nearly 4,000, while
the Grand National region along the East Coast now boasts close to 4,000 as
well from its member clubs while Minnesota reports around 3,500. There also
are substantial clubs in the Great Lakes region, Seattle and Fairbanks, Alaska,
and even in Georgia with the Atlanta Curling Club debuting in 2010, thanks to
the TV expsoure the sport received on NBC during the 2010 Olympic Winter
Games. The fastest growing areas in the past 10 years have been the Mountain
Pacific region in the west and the Great Lakes region in the upper Midwest.
California, a member of the MoPac region, now has five active curling clubs.

GlOssARY Of CURlInG TERMs
bACk lInE – the line at the back of the house. Rocks completely beyond the
line are out of play.
bOnspIEls – curling tournaments.
bROOM – the instrument used to sweep the ice. Brooms with synthetic heads
are most common.
bURnED ROCk – a shooting team’s rock that has been fouled (touched by a
player or equipment) while in motion. It is removed from play.
CEnTERlInE – the line dividing and running the length of the sheet of ice.
CURl – a turn of the rock’s handle upon release makes the rock curl, or curve,
as it travels down the ice. The rock curls in the direction of the turn.
DElIvERY – the release of the curling stone by the shooter.
DRAw – a rock that stops in front of or in the house.
EnD – One end is complete when all 16 rocks (eight per team) have been
thrown to one end of the sheet. A game is usually eight ends, or about two
hours. Championship games are 10 ends, or about 2 1/2 hours. After each end,
the score is determined.
fREEzE – a draw that finishes in front of and up against another rock.
GUARD – a rock between the hog line and the house used to thwart the oppo-
sition from hitting a rock in the house.
hACk – a rubber foothold from which curlers deliver the rock. It is about 125
feet from the scoring area.
hAMMER – the last rock of each end.
hEAvY ICE – when the ice is “slow” and the rocks have to be thrown harder.
hIT & ROll – a shot designed to take out an opponent’s rock and then roll the
shooter to a designated spot, such as behind a guard.
hOG lInEs – located 21 feet from each tee. A rock must be released before the
near hog line, and travel beyond the far hog line, or it is removed from play.
hOUsE – the round scoring area, 12 feet in diameter, with concentric circles of
four and eight feet in diameter inside.
hURRY – a command shouted by the skip or shooter to tell the sweepers to
sweep.
kEEn ICE – when the ice is “fast” and less momentum is needed on the rock.
lEAD – the player who delivers the first two rocks of each end, alternating with
the opponent’s lead.
nARROw – a rock delivered inside the intended line of delivery.
pEEl – a shot to remove a guard, or guards.
pORT – an opening through which teams try to draw or shoot through.
RAIsE – a draw that raises another rock into the house.
RInk – a curling team, which consist of four players, the skip, third (vice-skip),
second, and lead. All players are involved in every shot, with one shooting, two
sweeping, and one calling strategy. Two rinks play against each other.
ROCks – also known as stones, are made of rare, dense, polished granite. Each
rock weighs 42 pounds.
sCORInG – only one rink scores per end, that being the rink with the rock(s)
closest to the center of the house. The team with the highest score at the end
of a game wins. The maximum score in each end is eight, which is very rare.
Typically, one to three points are scored per end.

GlOssARY Of CURlInG TERMs
sECOnD – the player who delivers the second two rocks of each end, alternat-
ing with the opponent’s second.
shEET – the 150-ft. long ice playing area. The sheet’s design allows play in both
directions.
skIp – player who holds the broom as a target for shots by the other three
players. Skips are team strategists and must study–or read–the ice, judge the
amount of curl, and call the shots. Skips usually throw the last two rocks of
each end.
slIDER – worn on the sliding foot, in the delivery of a stone to allow for long,
smooth motion and follow through.
sTRAIGhT ICE – when the ice is not curling much.
swEEpInG – players sweep to make the rock travel farther, or to keep it from
curling too much. Good sweepers can increase the distance a stone travels by
more than 10 feet. Sweeping creates a thin film of water under the rock that
allows it to glide easier. Two players are ready to sweep each shot.
“swInGY” ICE – when the ice is curling a lot.
TAkEOUT – a rock that removes another rock from play.
TEE (or bUTTOn) – center of the house.
ThIRD – the player who delivers the third two rocks of each end, alternating
with the opponent’s third. The player who holds the broom for the skip, and
who assists the skip with game strategy. Also known as a vice skip.
wEIGhT – the momentum, or force, behind a rock as it glides down the ice.
wIDE – a rock delivered outside the line of delivery.

CURlInG’s OlYMpIC hIsTORY
U.s. OlYMpIC TEAMs
The first Olympic demonstration was in 1924, in Chamonix, France, where
men’s teams from England, France and Sweden competed. England won the
gold, and Sweden the silver. Games at this time were 18 ends long versus 10
today. This event was most recently recognized as the first time curling was an
Olympic medal sport. However, the sport would not have full medal status
again until the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan.
Curling was next a demonstration sport in 1932, in Lake Placid, N.Y. Eight
men’s teams competed–four from Canada and four from the United States.
The U.S. teams came from Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan and New
York. Canada won the round robin competition, taking 12 games to the USA’s
four. Games were 16 ends long.
After a long absence, curling returned to the Olympics as an official demon-
stration in 1988, in Calgary, Canada. For the first time, a women’s competition
was included. Canada won the women’s event, followed by Sweden and
Norway. On the men’s side, Norway took the gold, followed by Switzerland and
Canada. (Bronze medals were awarded to the team that lost in the playoffs to
the eventual champion.) The U.S. men’s and women’s teams both finished
fourth.
Curling was again part of the Olympic demonstration sport program in
1992, in Albertville, France. This time, Germany won the women’s gold, fol-
lowed by Norway and Canada. A bronze medal game was held, with Canada
defeating Denmark. Switzerland took the men’s championship, with Norway
earning the silver medal and the USA defeating Canada for the bronze medal.
The USA’s team included Bud Somerville, Mike Strum, Bill Strum and Tim
Somerville, all from Superior, Wis. (The U.S. women failed to earn a berth in
the Olympic competition in 1992.)

CURlInG’s OlYMpIC hIsTORY
In Salt Lake City in 2002, curling was a medal sport on the Olympic program
for the third time. The U.S. men, led by Tim Somerville, finished seventh, while
the women’s team, skipped by Kari Erickson, missed a bronze medal by just a
few rocks.
The Pete Fenson rink based out of Bemidji, Minn., won U.S. curling’s first
Olympic medal when the team defeated Great Britain to win the bronze medal
at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino, Italy. The U.S. women’s team, led
by Cassie Johnson, struggled in its opening games and finished eighth overall.
Canada’s Brad Gushue rink would capture the men’s elusive gold medal defeat-
ing Finland, while the Anette Norberg team from Sweden added to its collec-
tion of medals by defeating Switzerland for the gold.
In 2010 at the Olympic Games in Vancouver, 2006 Olympic bronze medalist
John Shuster and three-time Olympian Debbie McCormick (1998, 2002, 2010)
skipped their teams at the 5,000-seat Vancouver Olympic Center. It was a
tough week as the teams battled through the round robin. Unfortunately, both
would finish in 10th place and out of playoff contention. Canada’s Kevin Martin
rink would capture the men’s gold over Norway’s Thomas Ulsrud. On the
women’s side, Sweden’s Anette Norberg rink came from behind to overtake
Canada’s Cheryl Bernard to repeat as women’s Olympic champions. In the
bronze-medal matches, Switzerland’s Ralph Stoeckli outlasted Sweden’s Niklas
Edin in the men’s game while China won its first Olympic medal in curling when
Bingyu Wang defeated Switzerland’s Mirjam Ott.
Curling was officially a demonstration sport three times, but there were
also “domestic exhibitions” (host country participants only) in 1948 (St. Moritz,
Switzerland) and 1964 (Innsbruck, Austria).

2006 Olympian; and Courtney George (St. Paul, Minn.), the 2013 nationals run-
ner-up, two-time U.S. junior champion, and 2006 Olympian.
The men’s side features several Olympians including two-time Olympian,
2006 Olympic bronze medalist and four-time U.S. national champion John
Shuster (Duluth, Minn.); 2006 Olympic bronze medalist and seven-time U.S.

Sochi, Russia, a scenic seaside city, will play host to the 2014 Olympic
Winter Games Feb. 7-23. The 3,000-seat Ice Cube Curling Center will be the
venue for the men’s and women’s Olympic curling competition. The Ice Cube is
located in the Coastal Cluster along with the venues for ice hockey, speed skat-
ing, and figure skating, and is located less than a kilo-
meter from the Olympic Village.
Ten men’s and 10 women’s teams will compete in
a single round robin with the top four teams moving
on to the semifinals. The winning sides from the semis
will advance to the gold-medal game with the losing
sides facing off for the bronze. The round robin is set
to begin on Feb. 10 with the playoffs getting underway
on Feb. 19.
As the sport continues to grow throughout the
U.S., on the sidelines, Vernon Davis, tight end for the
San Francisco 49ers, returns as the Honorary Team
Captain for the U.S. Olympic Curling Team for Sochi.
Davis, who was captain in 2010 as well, enjoys the
sport’s camaraderie and work ethic. Football and curl-
ing continue to blend. After a successful outing in the
Super Bowl Village in 2012, curling will once again be a
part of the festivities surrounding the Super Bowl. This
time in 2014 as New York City and New Jersey host the event. Hoboken, N.J.,
will partner with USA Curling to hold curling demonstrations throughout the
month of February, kicking off with the 2014 Super Bowl and running through
the Olympic Winter Games.

for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games and 2014 Paralympic Winter Games.
While the women’s berth for Sochi is secured, the U.S. men still need to
earn a spot for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games. The men’s team that wins the
2014 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in November will head to Fussen, Germany, for
the Olympic Qualification Event Dec. 10-15.
The men’s field features eight countries fighting for the final two 2014
Olympic berths – the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Korea,
New Zealand, and the U.S. Teams will compete in a single round robin with the
top three teams advancing to the playoffs. The No. 1 seed will play the No. 2
with the winner earning an Olympic spot. The losing side will play the No. 3
seed with the winner of that game also clinching a spot in Sochi.

Organized wheelchair curling in the United States began in the 1990s at the
Granite Curling Club in Seattle. Since then, the sport has made great advance-
ments. The first world wheelchair curling championship took place in 2002 in
Sursee, Switzerland.
Wheelchair curling debuted as a medal sport at the 2006 Paralympic Winter
Games in Torino, Italy. USA’s team, led by James Pierce, finished in seventh
place. By 2008, Team USA had reached the podium to claim the program’s first
medal when the Americans earned bronze at the World Wheelchair
Championship. This represented the first and only world or Paralympic medal
for USA to date.
In 2010, wheelchair curling was a medal sport for the second time at the
Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Team USA, led by Augusto Perez,
improved to a fourth-place finish with many of the same team members. While
wheelchair curling is still growing in the United States, the program has made
great strides in improving on the world scene at international bonspiels and
championships. The U.S. has qualified for the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games
after solid finishes in the past three World Wheelchair Championships.

feb. 16-23, 2013 • sochi, Russia
eam USA’s search to get back on the podium at the World
Wheelchair Championship was cut short in the bronze-medal game
at the Ice Cube Curling Center in Sochi, Russia, as the Americans
lost to China, 6-5.
USA’s team of Patrick McDonald (Orangevale, Calif.), David
Palmer (Mashpee, Mass.), James Joseph (New Hartford, N.Y.), Penny Greely
(Green Bay, Wis.), and Meghan Lino (East Falmouth, Mass.) qualified the
Americans for the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games.
Canada’s Jim Armstrong went on to win his third world championship as
the Canadians defeated Sweden, 4-3, for the gold medal.
“We came and we played, we trained really hard. After the fourth end
break they turned up the heat. They made it really difficult. The best team
won,” McDonald said. The U.S. loss to China’s Haitao Wang, in the bronze-
medal game left the U.S. with an 8-4 overall record. It was the second straight
year that China won the bronze medal at this event.
“We came in to get a medal, did our best. It’s heartbreaking to lose,”
Joseph said. “Obviously, it’s not fun coming in fourth for the past several years.
But, it’s a bigger prize next year at the Paralympics and that only makes us hun-
grier to get a medal. The outcome wasn’t what we wanted, but I’m very proud
of this team.”

U.s. AREnA nATIOnAl ChAMpIOns
akota Curling Club’s Darcy Ellarby and Kalamazoo’s Garnet
Eckstrand rinks became the very first champions of the Arena
National Championships after winning the event finals July 21 at
the Lutheran Health Sports Center in Fort Wayne, Ind.
A double knockout competition took place to determine the
playoff teams for the championship, which featured 19 men’s
teams and 13 women’s team from across the U.S. With the great growth in
curling clubs forming and joining forces with existing arena facilities, the need
to provide these curlers with their own national championship came about.
More than 39 percent of USA Curling’s 160+ member clubs are arena-based as
opposed to curling-only facilities. Teams from Arizona to South Carolina com-
peted in this inaugural championship.
“My team and I are very proud to have taken home the gold medal and we
want to thank the USCA for putting on such a great event,” Ellarby said. “I
think this new national championship will definitely help motivate arena curlers
to develop competitive skills.” The four-day championship also featured semi-
nars on a variety of topics from team building to growing a curling club.
Eckstrand (Portage, Mich.) and teammates Kent Elliott (Kalamazoo, Mich.),
Marcus Gleaton (Three Rivers, Mich.), Chris Gleaton (Kalamazoo, Mich.), and
Thomas Deater (Kalamazoo, Mich.) survived an extra end to defeat the Nick
Myers rink from the Dallas-Fort Worth Curling Club, 7-6, while Ellarby’s squad
swept past Sarah Walsh’s rink from the San Francisco Bay Area Curling Club, 9-
3, to win the women’s division.
“In that final game – there were nerves firing in my hands that hadn’t fired
in more than 20 years,” said Eckstrand, who had Canada’s Kevin Martin as his
second during his junior years.
The women’s final was a little more straightforward as Ellarby and the
Dakota ladies – Jennifer Witschen (Eagan, Minn.), Robyn Farm (Shakopee,
Minn.), Julie Wennberg (Burnsville, Minn.), and Beth Lundquist (Eagan, Minn.) –
scored in the game’s first four ends to build a 7-0 lead over the Walsh rink.
Walsh (Oakland, Calif.) and her team of Kimberly Chapin (San Francisco, Calif.),
Emily Schermerhorn (San Francisco, Calif.), and Jessica Tudor (Oakland, Calif.)
earned three points in the fifth end but didn’t get on the scoreboard again as
the Minnesota ladies took home the title.
In the bronze medal games, Broadmoor’s Guy Scholz led his Colorado team
to a 9-6 win over David Wiesen’s team from the San Francisco Bay Area Curling
Club. Kalamazoo’s Stephanie Senneker helped her team defeat Liana Knott’s
rink from Dallas-Fort Worth, 8-1, to win the women's bronze medal.
Lansing, Mich., is set to host the 2014 Arena National Championships.

ete and Maureen Stolt of Plymouth, Minn., represented the U.S. at
the 2013 World Mixed Doubles Championship after sweeping
through the 2013 USA Curling Mixed Doubles National
Championship undefeated.
“I don’t know if it has sunk in yet, but we’re both really excited
to represent the U.S. We’ve got a lot of work to do, but we’re going to work
hard to bring home a medal this year and do our best to represent the U.S. at
Worlds,” said Pete Stolt, 34, who owns Shot Rock Curling Supplies with his wife,
after they won the national title.
The Stolts defeated Andy Jukich (Duluth, Minn.) and Tina Kelly (Bemidji,
Minn.), 11-4, in the championship final Dec. 9, 2012, at the Capital Curling Club
in Bismarck, N.D.
“It is very exciting to be able to represent a country. It’s the first time for us
to be Team USA instead of Team Stolt. It’s a really good feeling,” Maureen Stolt
said.
This is the first mixed doubles national title for the Stolts, who curl out of
the St. Paul Curling Club. After finishing the round robin with a 5-0 record, the
Stolts won their semifinal match over Minnesota's Tim Doherty and Carol
Strojny, 6-4. They then clinched the title against Jukich and Kelly with the con-
sistent play they showed throughout the week.
“We started out fast but couldn’t maintain,” Jukich said. “Gotta give all the
credit to Pete and Maureen. They controlled the game the whole way. They
were in complete control,” Jukich said. “It’s tough to win when they’re making
all their shots. We struggled a little bit … it was tough.”
“We just wanted to stay focused,” Pete Stolt said. “We knew we were in a
good spot but it’s mixed
doubles and we know that
anything can happen. That
sixth end all of a sudden
they were looking at a
potential for three or four
for a second there if we
don’t make something. You
can never let up.”
The Stolts went on to
represent the U.S. at the
2013 World Mixed Doubles
Championship April 13-20 in
Fredericton, New
Brunswick, finishing 12th.
Medford, Wis., will host

2013 world Mixed Doubles Championship
April 13-20, 2013 • fredericton, new brunswick
eam USA’s Peter Stolt and Maureen Stolt played their final game of
the 2013 World Mixed Doubles Championship in Fredericton, New
Brunswick, in memory of a loved one whose Christmas gift brought
good luck to the Americans that day as they defeated Japan, 10-1,
to wrap up the round robin.
“I’m kind of a little speechless right now. The big thing was that game was
for my Grandma. I just went out there and I wanted to play well. It feels good
to end like this,” Maureen Stolt said. “She passed away last year. She always
wanted to see me curl on TV, which was a big thing. I changed my broom up
this game to use the one she bought me for Christmas. She was like, ‘Sweep it
to the pin for me.’ I found a little bit more motivation from that.”
The Stolts of
Plymouth, Minn., ended
their rookie appearance
at the World Mixed
Doubles Championship
on a winning note with
the lopsided victory
over Hiroaki Kashiwagi
and Yumiko Sato at the
Grant Harvey Centre.
“That game was
more like us. All week,
we were just a little bit
off. We knew we could
do it, we knew we were
in the mix, but we just
couldn’t get things to go
our way,” Maureen
Stolt said after the win.
“That game, the com-
munication was good,
we felt really good on
the ice, the ice was
swinging more.”
The Americans fin-
ished the week with a
4-4 record. Hungary
went on to win the gold
medal with an 8-7 victo-
ry over Sweden. It was
Hungary’s first-ever
medal in curling.

hird time was the charm for Minnesota’s Miranda Solem as she led
her team of Vicky Persginer (Fairbanks, Alaska), Karlie Koenig
(Oconomowoc, Wis.) and Chelsea Solem (Cohasset, Minn.) to the
women’s title at the 2013 USA Curling Junior National
Championships held at the Broomstones Curling Club in Wayland,
Mass.
Making her third straight appearance in the gold-medal game in her final
year of junior eligibility, Solem (Cohasset, Minn.) scored two points with the
final stone to defeat the defending champions from Minnesota, led by Cory
Christenen (Duluth, Minn.), 7-6. “I knew the last game would be a tough battle
to the end and patience was going to be key,” said Solem, who attends the
University of Wisconsin-Madison as a dietary student.
“There were a lot of great shots on both sides throughout the champi-
onship game. Having to make that last draw for the win made winning the gold
feel that much more rewarding and special for my whole team. It has been a
goal of mine to represent the U.S. at worlds for a few years now, and to finally
reach it my last year of juniors after falling short the last couple of years feels
incredible. All of the hard work and sacrifices made have finally paid off. I feel
honored and privileged to be a part of Team USA and hope to represent our
country well in Sochi,” Miranda Solem said after the win.
The women’s game was close throughout with both teams taking control of
the match at times as the momentum swung back and forth. Team Solem
patiently waited for a chance to score multiple points and put two on the
scoreboard in the third end to take a 2-1 lead. Christensen then missed a run-
back to give up a single steal. Christensen and teammates Becca Funk
(McFarland, Wis.), Anna Bauman (Duluth, Minn.), and Sonja Bauman (Duluth,
Minn.) were forced to draw for a single in the next end but capitalized to steal
two points in the sixth end when Solem’s final stone wrecked on a guard. The
button was left open for Solem to draw into for two points in the following end
to put Team Solem ahead 5-4. However, the defending champs from the
Duluth Curling Club scored one point in the eighth and stole a single in the
ninth when Solem’s runback attempt jammed.
Leading by one, Christensen set out to steal the 10th end as well. The
Minnesota ladies had control of the house until Koenig converted a raise dou-
ble takeout. Christensen made a hit with her first stone to put two in scoring
position. Solem countered with a freeze attempt that was left ripe for picking.
However, Christensen never hesitated in throwing the freeze to that stone in
an attempt to win but it was heavy and sat behind the tee-line in second posi-
tion. That left the button exposed for Solem to draw into for the win.
This is the first junior title for the Solem sisters and Persinger, 20, who
moved from Alaska to Minnesota to train. Koenig, 19, won titles previously in
2011 and 2008.

orey Dropkin (Southborough, Mass.) led his team to an 8-6 win
over Washington’s Jake Vukich to earn the men’s title at the 2013
U.S. Junior National Championships, which were staged at the
Broomstones Curling Club in Wayland, Mass.
Dropkin did not need to throw his final stone as Vukich, need-
ing to steal two points, came up light on his final draw into the
house. With the win, Dropkin’s team went on to represent the U.S. at the 2013
World Junior Championships in Sochi, Russia, which served as the official test
event for the upcoming Olympic Winter Games.
Dropkin (Southborough, Mass.) and teammates Thomas Howell III (Brick,
N.J.), Mark Fenner (Bemidji, Minn.) and Alex Fenson (Bemidji, Minn.) had con-
trol of most of its match against Vukich’s squad from Seattle’s Granite Curling
Club.
“Representing the U.S. with this team at Worlds will be an unbelievable
time,” said Dropkin, who won the junior title in 2012 alongside Howell with
Korey’s older brother in the skipping role. “Last year was really fun, and now
having it this year at the Olympic facilities in Sochi makes us even more excited
for it. Our main goal this year was to make it to the Junior Worlds, and now
that we have done that, we are going to be wearing USA on our backs in Sochi.
It’s a dream come true.” This was the first national title for Fenner, Fenson and
Connor Hoge (Southborough, Mass.), the team’s alternate.
“Defending our national title was a great feeling,” said Dropkin. “Because
Stephen [Dropkin] and Derek [Corbett] aged out last year, Tom and I decided to
step up a position and play back end for Alex, Mark, and our fifth, Connor.
Although it was our first year together, we became great friends, and built our
team chemistry pretty quickly. The guys all did amazingly the whole week, and
we really enjoyed Nationals. Having it be at my home club, and winning it,
made the experience even more memorable.”

2013 world Junior Championships
feb. 28-March 10, 2013 • sochi, Russia
orey Dropkin and the American men concluded their run at the Ice
Cube Curling Center with an 8-3 loss to Scotland to finish seventh
at the 2013 World Junior Championships in Sochi, Russia.
Dropkin (Southborough, Mass.) and teammates Tom Howell
(Brick, N.J.), Mark Fenner (Bemidji, Minn.), Alex Fenson (Bemidji,
Minn.), and Connor Hoge (Southborough, Mass.) finished with a 4-5 record.
They were coached by Keith Dropkin (Southborough, Mass.) and Phill Drobnick
(Eveleth, Minn.).
“It was just what I imagined it would be. It was pretty fun, especially with
the first time playing in a place like this – the Olympic test facility – was quite
an experience that I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” Fenner said.
The American men were one of the two youngest teams in this year’s field
with Dropkin, at age 17, one of the youngest skips as well. Despite the losing
record in Sochi, the team has a lot of positives to build upon.
“We are definitely looking to start a comeback and always improve and
make sure we’re getting better with each game to work toward winning a
world championship some day,” Fenner said.

2013 U.s. national Championships
feb. 9-16, 2013 • Green bay, wis.
n All-Star team of Olympians captured the national title in Green
Bay as Erika Brown led her team to a gold-medal victory at the
2013 USA Curling National Championships at Cornerstone
Community Ice Center. Brown (Oakville, Ontario) and teammates
Debbie McCormick (Rio, Wis.), Jessica Schultz (Minneapolis, Minn.)
and Ann Swisshelm (Chicago) defeated the Courtney George rink, 7-6, in an
extra end to win the title.
“It’s a dream come true. It’s been our goal for the last two years so we’ve
been really focused. We knew this is what we wanted, and were going to do
anything it takes to get there. It’s going to be an amazing feeling to represent
the U.S. again at a world championship,” Schultz said.
This is the seventh national title for Brown, a 1998 Olympian; the eighth for
McCormick, a three-time Olympian (2010, 2002, 1998); third for Schultz, a
member of the 2006 Olympic team; and fifth for Swisshelm, a 2002 Olympian.
They are coached by 2007 U.S. national champion Bill Todhunter.
“It just feels great to be with these three women and a great coach. Every
time I have the United States of America on my back I feel so proud playing a
sport I love. Having the support of everyone around me is so special,”
McCormick said.
It was the first women’s championship final for George (Duluth, Minn.) and
her team of Aileen Sormunen (Duluth, Minn.), Amanda McLean (St. Paul,
Minn.) and Julie Lilla (Trempealeau, Wis.).
In the 10th end Brown needed a tap-up on her own stone in the eight-foot
to win but came up a few inches short and the game went into overtime. After
getting into a little bit of trouble early on in the extra end with a few missed
peels, 2003 world champion McCormick saved the end with a double peel to
open up the house. That set the stage for the skips. Brown executed a double
takeout after George’s first stone sunk a little too deep into the four-foot.
George attempted the double takeout with her final stone but it was a nose
hit, giving Brown the takeout for the win.
“We just had to keep reminding each other to breathe and that we’ve been
here before, that we’re pretty confident and that we’ll make our shots. We
were hoping it would come down to Erika making a shot to win,” Schultz said
about the team’s demeanor during the extra end.

2013 U.s. national Championships
feb. 9-16, 2013 • Green bay, wis.
eattle’s Brady Clark has added another gold medal to his tally but
this one has different words on it. The nine-time U.S. mixed
champion and three-time U.S. mixed doubles champion led his
team to a 6-5 win over Minnesota’s Tyler George to win the men's
title.
“I can compare it probably to the first time we won our mixed
nationals and the first time we won our mixed doubles to go to the worlds.
Those are two of my biggest highlights. The first time you win something, it’s
hard to compare,” Clark said. “All that work and preparation that goes into try-
ing to win and to be able to finish it off is an amazing feeling. We trained hard.
We said all year it would be great to go to Worlds, but we wanted to earn our
right to get to the Olympic Trials.”
This is the first men’s national title win for Clark (Lynnwood, Wash.) and
teammates Sean Beighton, Darren Lehto and Philip Tilker (all of Seattle).
“I’m speechless. This was the goal at the beginning of the season,” said
Beighton, who won the junior national title in 2010. “We all put a ton on the
line. Our families were all very supportive of our early touring schedule and we
forked out a ton of money out of our own pockets because we knew this was it
or bust. We accomplished our goal and I couldn’t feel better right now. This
win is pretty sweet.”
The Clark rink is the first team from Seattle since 2004 to win the national
championship. “Our whole goal was to at least get to the [Page playoff] 1-2
game so we could get that Olympic [Trials] spot, so this was kind of our gravy
we still wanted,” said Tilker, 35. “We started strong and hit a little slump, but
finished strong. Brady played great. He picked us up in this game and then we
finally showed up to play and gave him some help.”
With the win, Team Clark went on to represent the U.S. at the 2013 Ford
World Men’s Championship in Victoria, British Columbia. The team also is quali-
fied for the 2014 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Fargo, N.D., on Nov. 10-17.
George (Duluth, Minn.) and team-
mates Chris Plys (Duluth, Minn.),
Rich Ruohonen (Minneapolis, Minn.)
and Colin Hufman (Seattle) also
have secured a spot in the Trials,
which will take place at Scheels
Arena, host site of the 2011
Nationals.
“It feels kind of cool. It really
hasn’t sunk in. It definitely feels a
little better to win than to lose,”
said Lehto, who was runner-up at
the 2003 Nationals.

eam USA didn’t quite have the week the players envisioned when
they stepped on the ice at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, for the first time. But the team
fought hard all week and finished the 2013 Ford World Men’s
Curling Championship, presented by Booster Juice, on a winning
note as Brady Clark's rink defeated Norway, 9-7, to finish with a 5-6 record.
“It was a huge win. We needed to win that game and finish with a win and
get a little bit of confidence,” Clark said. “This week didn’t quite go our way.
We definitely had a learning experience and look forward to a lot of things we
can work on moving forward.”
However, the win would not prove to be enough to qualify the U.S. men for
the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, in February. The U.S. will try
to earn one of the final two available berths to the Olympic Games this
December at the World Curling Federation's Olympic Qualification Event (OQE)
Dec. 10-15 in Fussen, Germany.
Clark (Lynnwood, Wash.) and teammates Sean Beighton (Seattle), Philip
Tilker (Seattle), Darren Lehto (Seattle), and Greg Persinger (Anchorage, Alaska)
finished ranked ninth in the team’s first appearance at the world champi-
onship. “We feel good as a team but were just on the wrong inch of a lot of dif-
ferent games. One game, one shot could have changed it. We’re disappointed
that we didn’t take control of our own destiny but that’s the way it goes some-
times,” Clark said. The team was coached by Ken Trask (Seattle) and Scott Baird
(Bemidji, Minn.).
Clark finished the round robin as the second ranked skip in shooting per-
centage. Clark’s team is one of five that are qualified for the upcoming 2014
U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Curling, which will take place Nov. 10-17 in Fargo,
N.D. The winner of the Trials will compete in the OQE in Germany to earn
USA's men's spot for the 2014 Olympic Games.
Sweden's Niklas Edin rink went on to win the gold medal with an 8-6 victory
over Canada. It was the first world men’s title for Sweden since 2004. Edin also
was the recipient of the Colin Campbell Memorial Award for sportsmanship.

2013 Titlis Glacier Mountain world women’s
Championship • March 16-24, 2013 • Riga, latvia
eam USA tried in earnest to get the Americans back on the podi-
um for the first time since 2006 but came up short in that quest
as Canada defeated the U.S. ladies, 8-6, in the bronze medal game
at the 2013 Titlis Glacier Mountain World Women’s Championship
held March 16-24 in Riga, Latvia.
Erika Brown and Team USA fell behind Canada’s Rachel Homan rink and
couldn’t rally in the second half at the Volvo Sports Center.
“We weren’t as sharp. Just some half shots here and there when we really
needed to put the pressure on them and make their shots a little bit tougher
and we weren’t able to do that today,” Brown said after the loss. “They played
great. They played really well today, and we needed a few more really big
shots.”
Brown (Oakville, Ontario) and teammates Debbie McCormick (Rio, Wis.),
Jessica Schultz (Richfield, Minn.), Ann Swisshelm (Chicago), and Sarah Anderson
(Broomall, Pa.) finished fourth and qualified the U.S. for the 2014 Olympic
Winter Games in February in Sochi, Russia.
“I think overall we’re pretty pleased with the way we fought our way into
the playoffs, in general. We had games where we stuck it out, in the [Page] 3-4
game and this game, but I think we know that we can do better than where we
are right now,” said Brown, a native of Madison, Wis., who has won seven U.S.
women’s national titles and two world championship medals. “We’re pleased
we finished as high as we did, but we’re disappointed and know we can play
better. We’ve got big things to look forward to this fall and hopefully, next
February. I think it just motivates us.”
The U.S. ladies finished with a final record of 7-7. They were coached by Bill
Todhunter (Oakland Park, Fla.) and Derek Brown (Scotland).
Scotland went on to win its second women’s world title as Eve Muirhead’s
rink defeated Sweden, 6-5, to capture the gold medal. Germany’s Corinna
Scholz was the recipient of the Frances Brodie Sportsmanship Award.

2013 U.s. senior women’s
national Championship, Jan. 23-27, 2013
fairbanks Curling Club, fairbanks, Alaska
Minnesota’s Margie Smith led her team to the 2013 USA Curling Senior
Women’s National Championship title this winter at the Fairbanks Curling Club
in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Smith (St. Paul, Minn.) and teammates Norma O’Leary (Silver Bay, Minn.),
Debbie Dexter (St. Paul, Minn.), Shelly Kosal (Edgerton, Wis.), and Lucy DeVore
(Superior, Wis.) went undefeated (7-0) to earn the women’s division title. This
is the second title for Smith and Dexter, who also won in 2011.
“We are just thrilled. We played tough all week and just tried to be
patient,” Smith said. “There were some really good teams there. It is awesome
to see women’s senior curling catching on.”
Smith’s team went 6-0 in the round robin with Catherine Shuttleworth’s
rink from the home club finishing second at 5-1. The event had a two-loss pro-
vision so they had to play a tiebreaker game, possibly two, to determine the
overall winner. Smith’s team won a close 5-4 match over Shuttleworth and her
team of Mary Jaster (Grafton, N.D.), Anne Burns (Fairbanks, Alaska), and
Joanne Hufman (Fairbanks, Alaska).
The senior national championships are designed for athletes age 50 and
above. The event began in 2002 at the national and world championship level.
The team joined the Gert Messing rink to represent the U.S. at the 2013
World Senior Championships April 13-20 in Fredericton, New Brunswick,
Canada.
The 2014 USA Curling Senior Women’s National Championship will take
place Jan. 23-26 at the Eau Claire Curling Club in Eau Claire, Wis.

fairbanks Curling Club, fairbanks, Alaska
new senior men’s champion was crowned as the 2013 USA
Curling Senior National Championships came to a close Jan. 27 at
the Fairbanks Curling Club in Fairbanks, Alaska.
The Gert Messing rink of New York defeated North Dakota’s
Dave Jensen rink, 7-4, to win the team’s first trip to the World
Senior Championships. Messing (Hartsdale, N.Y.) and teammates
Dennis Mellerup (Hoboken, N.J.), Bill Nickle (Long Valley, N.J.) and Bill Peskoff
(Glen Gardner, N.J.) jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead after two ends and the
Jensen rink (8-2) was left chasing. The New York rink (6-1) added four points in
the sixth end to seal up the championship title.
“Our team is very excited to win the championship,” Mellerup said. “We
are very honored to represent the United States and look forward to the
Worlds this April.”
Jensen (Bismarck, N.D.) and teammates Kent Beadle (Hudson, Wis.), Roger
Smith (Bismarck, N.D.) and Richard Maskel (Green Bay, Wis.) had been on a
five-game winning streak coming into the game but saw their offense limited in
the final.
The U.S. men have won gold twice at the World Senior Championships
(2010, 2002) while the women's highest finish was bronze three times (2007,
2004, 2002).
“We are very proud of winning the senior championship,” Messing said.
“We will work very hard in the next couple of months to be a strong represen-
tative at the Worlds.”
The Messing rink joined Margie Smith’s team to represent the U.S. at the
2013 World Senior Championships April 13-20 in Fredericton, New Brunswick,
Canada. The senior championships are designed for athletes age 50 and above.
The event began in 2002 at the national and world championship level.
The 2014 USA Curling Senior Men’s National Championship will take place
Jan. 22-26 at the Portage Curling Club in Portage, Wis.

argie Smith (St. Paul, Minn.) and the U.S. ladies missed out on
the playoffs at the 2013 World Senior Championships held April
13-20 at the Grant Harvey Centre in Fredericton, New Brunswick,
Canada.
Smith (St. Paul, Minn.) and teammates Norma O’Leary (Silver
Bay, Minn.), Debbie Dexter (St. Paul, Minn.), Shelly Kosal (Edgerton, Wis.), and
Lucy DeVore (Superior, Wis.) lost to Cathy King’s Canadian team, 6-4, in the
final draw of the round robin to be eliminated from playoff contention.
“We did push them hard; not quite hard enough, but if we would have
played like that all week, we would have been both teams 5-and-0 going into
the day. And we didn’t,” Smith said after the loss. “We knew we could give
them a run. Top to bottom, they shoot really well. But we did, too. It was a
good game.”
The U.S. ladies won their first two games of the round robin before drop-
ping the next two. After splitting the final two matches, the playoffs were just
out of reach for the team as the top two countries from each pool moved on to
the semifinals.
The Canadian women, who have not lost at this event since 2008, went on
to defeat Austria, 13-1, to win another gold medal. Sweden defeated Scotland,
9-8, in an extra end to win the bronze medal for the second straight year.
The 2014 World Senior Championships will take place April 22-29 in
Dumfries, Scotland.

ew York’s Gert Messing (Hartsdale, N.Y.) made his skipping debut
for the United States at the 2013 World Senior Championships
held April 13-20 at the Grant Harvey Centre in Fredericton, New
Brunswick, Canada.
Messing (Hartsdale, N.Y.) and teammates Dennis Mellerup
(Hoboken, N.J.), Bill Nickle (Long Valley, N.J.), Bill Peskoff (Glen
Gardner, N.J.) and alternate/coach Paul Pustovar (Hibbing, Minn.) finished the
tournament with a 4-5 record, which equated to 11th place in the 20-team
field.
“My first time at a world championship, and now I have an idea of what the
global fraternity of curlers is like. Lifetime of memories — met so many great
people, got a ton of good photographs, and it’s been a lot of fun,” Peskoff said.
The U.S. men had an up-and-down experience in the round robin portion of
the world championship as the team was unable to sustain a win streak to
make a run at the playoffs.
Canada completed the sweep as the men defeated New Zealand, 6-4, for
the gold medal. Earlier, the Canadian ladies won their sixth straight title. It was
the eighth world title for the senior men from Canada. Switzerland got past
Sweden, 7-2, to earn the bronze.
The 2014 World Senior Championships will take place April 22-29 in
Dumfries, Scotland. The U.S. men’s team will be determined at the 2014 USA

the North Dakota region.
“It is surreal winning the club national title. We played well all
week despite a few minor things that we tweaked as the week
went on,” Reiser said after her team defeated Minnesota’s Norma
O’Leary rink, 8-6, on March 9 in the gold-medal game at the Exmoor Country
Club in Highland Park, Ill. “It seemed to come together in the semi and more so
in the final. The competition at Club Nationals prepares us for our dream of
representing the U.S. at the world level some year, after we take some time to
spend with our growing families.”
Reiser (Mandan, N.D.) and teammates Michelle Wagner (Bismarck, N.D.),
Corrina Stroh (Bismarck, N.D.) and Roxanne Howes (Mandan, N.D.) defeated
two-time Club Nationals champion Norma O’Leary of Minnesota, 8-6. The game
was tied 3-3 after four ends when Reiser’s Capital Curling Club team scored a
deuce and then stole two more to take their lead to 7-3. O’Leary (Silver Bay,
Minn.) and teammates Jill Hansen (Duluth, Minn.), Mary Shields (Duluth,
Minn.), Patti Luke (Duluth, Minn.), and Anna Bauman (Duluth, Minn.) were held
to a single in the seventh end but stole points in the next two ends to pull with-
in a point. However, North Dakota had the advantage of the final shot in the
10th end and scored a point to earn the first title for North Dakota.
“There were so many things that made the event such a memorable one.
One of the highlights of the event was meeting curlers from around the coun-
try. The camaraderie amongst the curlers was present even when the competi-
tion was tough,” Howes said. “All of the teams played at a high level of compe-
tition, which contributed to the success of the event. Additionally, there were
numerous people behind the scenes at the event who worked to make it a
huge success. We also had support from a number of people from our home
state that cheered us on, and provided us emotional and financial support.
Simply participating in the event was an honor, and winning it was frosting on
the cake.”
North Dakota II’s Beth Bohlman (Grand Forks, N.D.) led her team to a
bronze-medal victory with an 11-1 victory over Washington’s Em Good rink.
The 2014 Club National Championships will take place Feb. 15-22 in Two
Harbors, Minn.

oug Kauffman led his team to the Washington region’s first men’s
Club Nationals title just one year after Em Good brought home
the area’s first women’s title. Kauffman (Edmonds, Wash.) and
teammates John Rasmussen (Edmonds, Wash.), Ken Trask
(Seattle) and Liam Barksdale (Seattle) defeated Jeff Wright’s
Illinois rink from the host Exmoor Country Club in the men’s final, 9-1, on
March 9 at the 2013 USA Curling Club National Championships in Highland
Park, Ill. The medal is an upgrade for the Granite Curling Club teammates, who
last year earned silver.
“We are very happy to have won the Club Championships this year,”
Kauffman said. “Granite Curling Club has now won 46 national championships if
you count all of the different categories, and we are very happy to have con-
tributed to that number! All of the teams and competitors were great guys to
play, and we look forward to the opportunity to come back in the following
years. A big thank you to Russ Armstrong, the volunteers, and to Exmoor
Country Club for a great week.”
Washington finished the round robin with an 8-1 record to earn the top
playoff seed. They defeated Wisconsin’s Mark Olson in the semifinals, 11-3, to
move on to the final. The Illinois team of Wright (Libertyville, Ill.), Russ
Armstrong (Lake Bluff, Ill.), Sean Silver (Chicago), Steve Wright (Chicago), and
Russ Brown (Lake Forest, Ill.) defeated Alaska’s Leo Johnson, 8-2, in the other
semifinal. The Wisconsin men went on to win the bronze medal with a 10-7
win over the Johnson rink from the Fairbanks Curling Club.

2013 U.s. Mixed national Championship
March 16-23, 2013 • willmar, Minn.
onnecticut’s Derek Surka rink captured the 2013 USA Curling
Mixed National Championship title with a 10-4 victory over
Wisconsin’s Sean Murray on March 23 in Willmar, Minn.
This is the first mixed national championship title for Surka
(New Haven, Conn.) and teammates Charrissa Lin (New Haven,
Conn.), Nate Clark (Nashua, N.H.) and Rebecca Andrew (Henrietta, N.Y.) and
the first for the Nutmeg Curling Club in Bridgeport, Conn. This is just the sec-
ond mixed title for the Grand National Curling Club region, which the team was
representing, and first title since 1996.
“We played very well during the game and were able to take advantage of
a Wisconsin miss in the first to take control,” said Surka, 41, a rocket scientist
who was born in Ontario. “There were times later in the game that we thought
we may have left openings for them to get back in it, but we were always able
to shut them down. We were very happy to be able to close out a strong week
with the championship win. There were many worthy teams so the victory is all
that more meaningful.”
The Surka rink started the game strong with three points in the opening
end of play. They followed up with a single steal in the fourth end. Murray and
teammates Heather Betzhold (Hartland, Wis.), Mike Graziano (Lansdale, Pa.)
and Paige Caulum (Middleton, Wis.) were held to a single in the third end and
had to play catch-up the rest of the way.
Connecticut earned a single in the fourth but
stole another point in the fifth end to lead 6-
1 at the halfway mark.
Wisconsin put two points on the score-
board in the sixth end but was unable to stop
Connecticut from scoring more points in the
rest of the second half as Surka’s team con-
cluded the match with a dominant three
points in the ninth end to wrap up their first
mixed title.
“Willmar did a tremendous job hosting
the event. It was the best playing conditions
that we’ve seen in our seven national events.
The hospitality was just as impressive,” Surka
said.
North Dakota’s Kelby Smith (Minot, N.D.) was unable to play in the bronze-
medal game due to a family issue so Washington was awarded the bronze
medals due to the forfeit. Team Washington includes Lyle Sieg (Tacoma,
Wash.), Miyo Konno (Monroe, Wash.), Steve Lundeen (Seattle), and Jennifer
Westhagen (Seattle).
The 2014 USA Curling Mixed National Championship will take place March
15-22 and will be hosted by the Tri City Curling Club in Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.
The action will take place at the South Wood County Recreation Center.

2013 usA curling Athletes of the year
Reigning national champions Erika Brown
(Oakville, Ontario) and Brady Clark (Lynnwood,
Wash.) have been named USA Curling’s top ath-
letes for 2013.
Brown, 40, a native of Madison, Wis., led her
team to a very successful 2012-13 season, culmi-
nating by earning the U.S. its women’s berth in the
2014 Olympic Winter Games. This is the fourth
time that Brown, who is a seven-time U.S. national
champion, has earned the women’s MVP award.
She previously won in 2004, 1994 and 1988.
“Being named Athlete of the Year is a great
honor, but I share it with my team,” said Brown, who
works in Ontario as a physician’s assistant. “We
each bring out the best in each other, and it is a
sum of everyone’s commitment and energy that
earned this honor for me.”
Clark, 35, who curls out of Seattle’s Granite
Curling Club, skipped his team to its first men’s
national championship title and led Team USA to a
ninth place finish at the 2013 World Men’s
Championship where he was the top ranked skip in
shooting percentage throughout most of the round
robin.
“I was very honored when I got the news,” Clark
said about learning he was named curling’s top
male athlete for 2013. “My thoughts right away
turned to my team. Curling has always been a team
game and always will be. Your team is helping you make shots. It takes a team
around you to make every shot.”
This is the first time that Clark has been named the association’s Male
Athlete of the Year. He previously was a member of two teams honored as
Team of the Year.
“Winning an award like this is definitely an honor, but for me the first time
you ever win a national championship is pretty special. Those definitely are the
highest honors. An award like this recognizes a lot of hard work that went in to
being able to perform at a high level,” said Clark, who works as a senior busi-
ness analyst for Liberty Mutual.
“The team was incredibly happy for me and excited for me to be honored.
Our team ultimately is a great team. I know all of them felt strongly that I was
performing well at the Worlds … the Nationals as well,” Clark said. “Being able
to elevate our game for those key games was really important. We knew that
we had to win four games in a row [at Nationals], and we had to play four of
the top teams. Having to beat Brown, McCormick, Shuster and then George in
the final – any time you run into those great teams, it’s going to be a battle. It
was great to have that experience where we had to win multiple games in a
row with our backs up against the wall.”

The World Curling Federation regularly honors those who have contributed
significantly to the development and promotion of curling at the world level. It
honors the memory of the late Elmer Freytag of the United States, one of the
founding members and early leaders of the International Curling Federation.
Induction into the World Curling Hall of Fame is the highest ‘non-playing’ honor
that the World Curling Federation can bestow on someone and recognizes out-
standing contribution to the sport of curling whether through on ice exploits or
off ice endeavours.
The first year that the WCF accepted nominations for this honor was 2012.
Previously, the WCF presented the World Curling Freytag Award to recognize
outstanding contribution to the sport. From 2012 onward, inductees into the
World Curling Hall of Fame will be presented with the Freytag Medal to mark
their induction.
