Olympic Winter Games 2018
CCC's strategic planning for the upcoming season includes driving and managing the increased interest in curling as a result of the 2018 Olympic Winter Game.  Bucky Marshall, a life-long curler, CCC member and Chair of CCC's Olympic Committee, was recently interviewed by USA's Curling Director of Growth and Development.  CLICK HERE for tips that Bucky shared on how clubs can capitalize on the anticipated interest in curling this season.  

New FUND-RAISING PROJECT:  
Can you hear me now?  Yes, we have a sound issue in the ice-house that we want to address.  There are plans in place to make measurable improvements in the sound quality.  To do so will add to our annual expenses and we would encourage you to contribute to this project.  You can do so directly by going to:
