Superior Curling Club

🚨Caulking project alert🚨

Most people think curling clubs spend the summer hibernating.

In reality, this is when we fix things so the ice doesn’t try to escape through the walls.

Last season, we had some water leakage during floods, so we’re replacing sections of caulk around the rink. If you’re available, we’d love some help:

📅 Monday, June 15
⏰ 5:00–8:00 PM

We’ll be:

* Removing the white boards along the floor
* Scraping out old caulk
* Installing new caulk
* Putting everything back together

We’re looking for about five volunteers. Knee pads are recommended unless your knees are younger than the admin’s.

One of the perks of having summer access to the club is getting projects like this done now instead of scrambling in October when everyone is thinking about curling season.

If you can lend a hand, we’d greatly appreciate it! 💙🥌

Sad to report that past SCC President Jack Krisak passed away this morning in Florida. Here's a picture of the last time Jack curled, in the 2019 Spring family league in Chaska. Pictured with son Scott (a frequent SCC bonspieler) and grandson Kolton. Folks might recall his raspy-voiced sweep calls in Mixed League among other memories. Feel free to share more! Always a great guy around the club. RIP, Jack.

🥌 5U Bonspiel Wrap-Up – What a Weekend! 🥌

Our 5U Bonspiel at the Superior Curling Club was a huge success! We had a fantastic turnout, competitive games, and plenty of laughs both on and off the ice. It was especially great to see so many newer curlers out there bringing the energy all weekend long.

Thank you to all the teams who joined us, our volunteers who kept everything running smoothly, our sponsors who donated items, and everyone who came out to support the event. Events like this only happen because of community — and this one showed up in full force. 💙

Even better? Several curlers told us they’re already planning to come back next year. We’ll hold you to that 😉

Curling didn’t start in arenas — it started outdoors, on frozen lakes and rivers. 🥌❄️

Today, we got the ice ready on Lake Superior for curling at the Ice Festival, keeping that tradition alive. Huge thanks to everyone who helped clear, flood, and mark the ice.

Join us tomorrow on the lake — the first draw starts at 10 a.m.

Huge congratulations to Davin Britton and Team Kadlec for winning the Wisconsin U18 Championship for the second year in a row and bringing home the Glenn Harris Trophy once again!
Next stop: the U18 National Championships in Lafayette, Colorado, January 8–11. We’ll be cheering you on from Superior! 🥌💙

We’re especially proud to see Davin curling at the Superior Curling Club on Monday nights alongside his father and grandfather — three generations on the ice, and apparently three generations perfectly capable of handling the admin a very humbling loss. 🫠
Well done, Davin — we’re lucky to have you representing our club!
