Ice Safety

How should I step on the ice?
Sliders and ice are both slippery. You should always step on the ice with your gripper foot. Never step onto the ice with your slider foot. Your slider foot should be: LAST ON, FIRST OFF.

Can I fall on the ice?
Yes. Like any sport played on ice there is risk of falling and getting hurt.

Are the curling sheets busy?
Yes curling sheets are always busy with activity. Rocks are always being delivered, sweepers are following rocks, people are often walking back and forth. You need to be very aware of your surroundings.

Do you have any safety suggestions while on the ice?
Try to keep your center of gravity slightly forward like you would in skiing or skating. Long, slow strides are better than short fast ones when sweeping. Try to keep on the balls of your feet, not on the heel. Putting the edge of the heel of your foot down can cause it to go out from under you and make you fall backwards.

Parking

Where can you park?
There is a parking lot across the street from the East York Curling Club. The entrance to the parking lot is off of Gledhill Avenue.
