Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a curling stone cost?+
A single regulation curling stone costs roughly $400 to $600, so a full match set of 16 stones runs $8,000 to $10,000. The price comes from rare, water-resistant Ailsa Craig granite quarried off the coast of Scotland, which is the only stone tough enough for championship play.
What are some common slang terms used in curling?+
Common curling slang includes the hammer (last-stone advantage), the skip (team captain), the hog line (the stone must be released before it), the house (the scoring rings), and a bonspiel (a curling tournament). Players also shout "hard" and "whoa" to tell sweepers when to sweep or stop.
What country is curling the most popular in?+
Canada is curling's biggest home, with more registered curlers and curling clubs than any other nation. The sport was born in Scotland in the 1500s, but Canada's long winters, small-town rinks, and Olympic heroes turned it into a national pastime. Sweden, Switzerland, and Norway are strong curling nations too.
What do players shout in curling?+
Curlers shout "hard" to start sweeping, "whoa" to stop, "hurry" to sweep faster, and "line" or "weight" to judge the stone's path and speed. The skip does most of the calling, guiding sweepers as the stone glides toward the house. It is the sport's own language, echoing through every curling club each winter.
What do you call a curling match?+
A curling match is simply called a game, and a full tournament is called a bonspiel. Each game is divided into ends, which work like innings in baseball, usually 8 or 10 per game. Teams alternate stones in every end until one side scores by landing closest to the button.
What do you call a curling team?+
A curling team is called a rink. Each rink has four players: the lead, second, third, and skip, and every player throws two stones per end. The skip is the captain, calling the shots and holding the broom as the target, while the other three sweep.
What do you call a shot in curling?+
A shot in curling is simply called a shot, though players name each type: a draw slides gently into the house, a takeout knocks an opponent's stone away, and a guard blocks the path. The most famous shot of all is the final one of an end, especially when a team holds the hammer.
Which town is the curling capital of the US?+
Bemidji, Minnesota, calls itself the curling capital of the United States. Its 90-year-old curling club has produced multiple Olympians, including members of medal-winning American rinks. The northern Minnesota town also claims Paul Bunyan's birthplace, making it a capital of tall tales as well as tall shots.
Why is the hammer in curling so called?+
The hammer is the last stone thrown in an end, and it is called the hammer because it delivers the final, decisive blow, like a hammer striking a nail. Holding the hammer is a big advantage, since the last shot can smash opponents' stones out of the house and claim the end. Now you are armed with 100 funny curling jokes, go sweep your friends off their feet, and may your stones always find the button. Good curling!
