Club News

There is always a lot going on at Frogtown Curling Club. From bonspiel winners at home and away to happenings invovling our member community, we'll share it here.


 

 

We recently sent the following email update on the club's current activities in preparation for returning league and membership registration, which opens July 17th.

Eleven years after the founding of Frogtown Curling Club we have begun the process to upgrade our ice plant. The current plant is outdated, dating back to the 1970s, and though some parts have been upgraded over the years it has exceeded its intended lifespan. Additionally, our plant utilizes R-22 freon which has been phased out of production, necessitating upgrades for all ice plants using this refrigerant. We plan to install the new plant in the summer of 2025 and we will continue to use the existing ice plant for the next two seasons.

The cost of this upgrade will be a minimum of $1,000,000. Yes, you read that correctly – one million dollars! 

This is the largest project our club has ever undertaken. Our club operates as a 501(c)(7) organization, which effectively means that members share the costs of club purchases. When you consider Frogtown as a club with over 650 members pooling resources to accomplish such a substantial project, it is truly exciting. We have together already constructed a new clubhouse and added a sixth sheet, both of which have been fully paid for.


 

Kevin Martin, Olympic, World and four-time Canadian champion, visited Frogtown Curling Club for the first time in the Fall of 2022 while in St Paul for the Lupus Spiel. After his skills and strategy clinics at the club he hung around and chatted, as curlers are known to do. During that time he was told the history of Frogtown's Sheet E and Sheet eH, which he retold during his next episode of the Inside Curling Podcast.

While we are not a member club of the USA Curling organization, we are members of the curling community, and the recent turmoil in the broader community is an issue that affects us all. To that end, we feel it is important to ensure our values are clear.

We believe that curling is for everyone - regardless of age, race, or gender identity. We welcome anyone to our community, and strive to ensure everyone feels safe here. While it should go without saying, we want to state this clearly: There is no room for harassment, discrimination, or abuse in curling.

To support this statement, the board is in the process of adopting a code of conduct. To all those who have overcome harassment or abuse - we see you, we support you, and we stand with you.
