Curling and Club Etiquette

In the interest of promoting practices that will provide the greatest pleasure and satisfaction for all participants, attention is drawn to the following points:

Before the match:

  • Curling is a team sport. As a team member, it is your
    responsibility to know when you are scheduled to play. If you
    cannot be present, you should speak to your skip and help him or
    her to find a replacement who qualifies under the rules of the
    competition.

On the ice:

  • Players of either side should take care not to move about or cross
    the ice when another player is preparing to deliver or is
    delivering his stone.
  • Players of the opposing side must not move towards the middle
    of the rink to follow the path of a running stone as this may
    obscure the view of both the player delivering the stone and his
    skip.
  • Skips, seconds and leads shall remain outside the hog line while
    the score in any end is being determined.
  • Only the skip, or a person appointed by him, has the right to
    sweep behind the tee line.
  • Unless sweeping a running stone, no player, other than the skip
    or third, has the right to enter the house while an end is in
    progress.
  • In the interest of clean ice, players should clean their footwear
    with the electric cleaner before stepping onto the ice, and they
    should not walk on the sideboards
 

Curling is fun, easy to learn, and a great team building exercise. It is a wonderful way to enjoy the winter months, improve your fitness level and spend time with family, friends and coworkers. The Club operates from September to April. The ice can be rented by “sheet”. We have a total of three (3) sheets. From one to three sheets can be rented for a two-hour period, with a maximum of ten (10) curlers per sheet. The rental fee includes all of the necessary equipment as well as instruction and training given by experienced certified coaches. Participants are only required to bring a pair of running shoes with clean soles and to wear warm comfortable clothing.

We have a fully licensed bar and dining room option to perfectly cap the curling experience. We would be happy to host your next great event and provide suggestions based on your budget and the makeup of your group.

Please note that group rentals are organized around our regular league play and special events schedule, so available rental times will vary from week to week.

Founded in 1807, The Royal Montreal Curling Club is the oldest active athletic club in North America.

It was during the reign of King George III, when Montreal was a town of perhaps 12,000, that 20 merchants and a chaplain who liked to curl together on the ice of the St. Lawrence River decided to form a curling club. The group met on January 22, 1807, in Gillis Tavern, where The Montreal Curling Club was born, the oldest established sports club still active in North America.

In 1860 The Montreal Curling Club moved to an indoor rink on Drummond Street, on the current site of Le Mount Stephen Hotel. Twenty-eight years later, a lot on St. Catherine Street between St. Mathieu and St. Marc was purchased for construction of a new curling shed. Opened in 1889, it has remained our rink ever since. The following year we sold the portion of the land fronting on St. Catherine Street and acquired a lot on the other side of the shed, then 56 St. Luke Street (now 1850 Boulevard de Maisonneuve West), to build a club house. Designed by Hyde & Nobbs, it was opened on Christmas Eve 1892, and expanded to its present size in 1912.
 The curling shed was built in the style of the famous Victoria Arena (where the Montreal Maroons later played hockey), on a frame of laminated wood in arched girders, permitting a large, free space unencumbered by pillars. It is the only known example of this type of structure still in existence.

Although women were occasionally invited to curl with the men in the mid-to-late 1800s, The Montreal Curling Club did not include any female members. In 1894, a group of women headed by Mrs. E.A. Whitehead founded the first all-women’s curling club in the world, the Ladies Montreal Curling Club. The LMCC rented ice from the Montreal Curling Club, and soon after held competitions with newly developed women’s curling clubs in Quebec and the United States. Mrs. Whitehead went on to become the first President of the Ladies Curling Association which, to this day, organizes competitions for curling clubs from across Quebec and Ontario.

On February 23, 1924, a Royal Warrant was issued granting the Montreal Curling Club the right to add the word “Royal” to its name. Henceforth it would be known as The Royal Montreal Curling Club (RMCC). It is around this time that the Ladies Montreal Curling Club became known as the “Ladies Branch of the Royal Montreal Curling Club”. In 1997, women were invited to become members of the RMCC, and the Ladies Branch was folded into the administrative structure of the “main branch” of the RMCC in 2015.

Over the last 30 years, many curling clubs in Montreal and Westmount have closed their doors: Heather in 1975, followed in 1982 by Montreal Caledonia and Greystone, then St George, and in 2001, Thistle. We remain the only curling club close to the downtown area still in operation, a heritage monument and, as Guy Hemmings put it, truly a shrine to curling in Canada.
