Your first night, in plain words
Five things happen, and you are on the ice for all of them.
You keep a broom in hand for balance, and an instructor stays close the whole time.
Come 15 minutes early
Wear warm layers you can stretch in and clean, flat-soled shoes you have not worn outside. Grippers and helmets are at the door for first-timers.
Find your feet
An instructor walks you onto the ice and shows you how to stand, step and slide with a broom for balance. Most people are steady within ten minutes.
Throw a stone
You push off from the foothold, slide behind the stone and let it go with a small turn of the handle. That turn is what makes it curl.
Sweep it along
Two teammates sweep in front of the stone to help it travel farther and straighter. Someone calls the line; everyone shouts.
Play a short game
We finish with a few ends of a real game, then hot cider upstairs by the window.
Bring three friends, or come on your own.
