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.

Sheet eH was added in the summer/fall of 2019 on the left side of the former hockey rink where there was room to expand.
The Sheet eH viewing lounge area features a hand-crafted sign, created mid-bonspiel when the idea for the name first struck (years before the sheet edition). Sheet eH also features Canadian provincial flags representative of club members with direct connections to those provinces.
This was all done to preserve Frogtown's beloved Sheet E name and Sheet E Lounge viewing area. So sheets are, left-to-right, eH, A, B, C, D, E.
Shortly after the Sheet eH lounge was created, a Candian flag was cermoniously raised over the area. When the board formally named the new sheet "Sheet eH" an equally Frogtown style Sheet eH Dedication was held. Watch the videos of both events below.
