Denver Curling History |
Originally established in 1965, Denver curlers enjoyed the benefits of dedicated ice near I-70 and Quebec. In its recent past, Denver Curling Club was home to three women's US National Champion teams and three World Championship teams. We sent curlers to US Junior Nationals, we were represented well in many bonspiels throughout the country.
When those doors shut because of a dwindling curling community, Denver lost a unique pastime that, looking back, it took for granted. In 2007, as a result of the overwhelming interest in curling during the 2006 Turin, Italy Winter Olympics, Denver Curling decided to
reinvent itself. What started with 36 dedicated curlers has now
blossomed into a curling community with over 300 active curlers. We curl on five sheets, two nights a week during the fall/winter/spring months. We have Rookie and Open leagues, offer many Learn To Curl opportunities, and hold an annual bonspiel in November.
The DCC is a
501(c)(3) charitable organization committed to teaching, to developing,
to promoting and encouraging the spirit of curling; to develop youth and
adult programs that lead to local, national, and international
competitions.
