About the Sport
Curling has a long and rich history. While its origins are lost in the mists of time, Scottish curlers already were playing the game by the beginning of the 16th century on frozen ponds and lochs.
Their earliest equipment included stones formed by nature, each one unique. These stones often curved, or “curled,” as they slid down the ice, and the players used besoms or brooms to clear snow and debris from the path of the stones.
Today, curling is a game of strategy, finesse and strength, contested by teams generally comprised of four players. The principle of curling is simple – get your stone closer the center of the target circles, called the “house,” than your opponent. Players of all skill levels can participate and compete even at older ages than most sports allow.
Respect, honor and tradition are core elements of the game. Curlers are close knit and you can rely on a warm welcome in curling clubs throughout the world. Camaraderie among players is inherent in the sport and tradition calls for both teams to sit together after a game, discussing what was and what might have been.

It was an exciting morning at Lake of Bays Curling & Bocce Club, (formerly Baysville Curling and Bocce Club), as we welcomed Emma Miskew, one of the world’s top women curlers, along with Eric Wolfe, Marketing Manager at Lake of Bays Brewing Company.
Emma Miskew’s "Team Homan" recently announced a partnership with Lake of Bays Brewing Company, who has also been a valued long-time sponsor of our club. A special highlight of the visit was the unveiling of a new house decal for our curling rink, designed by Emma herself. In addition to being an elite athlete, Emma is a professionally trained graphic designer, and we’re thrilled to feature her work in our club.
Lake of Bays Curling & Bocce Club strives to serve our Lake of Bays community. We continuously partner with local businesses to support our efforts to engage the community through curling, bocce, and special events. We take great pride in our ongoing partnership with Lake of Bays Brewing Company and we are excited to be included in their Team Homan sponsorship.
