We are into the Fall season, but if you are interested in getting started but are not on a team there are still opportunities to be placed on a team. Both the Shot Rocks and Oh Sheet! are looking for players to complete this Fall session. So if you are interested please contact [email protected] or register on the Free Agents list.

Sparing and Subbing

So far this Fall there have been several opportunities where a team has needed a fourth (or even a third) due to an absence of a regular team member. As a skip this can be frustrating to try and count on picking up people last minute. And if you, yourself, are interested in the opportunity to get more playing time in, you may be missing out!

Fortunately, our website has a nice sparing and subbing feature on the member side of the site where you can add yourself to the sparing list, or contact people on the list. (If you add yourself to the subbing list, please put your team name in the comment box so that the person looking for the sub can make sure there isn't a conflict with one of your league games).  In addition, the member's site has extra information on the leagues and your next game shows up conveniently on your member's homepage.  

However, to use it you must create and/or login to your account. Many of you may have an account and may not know it as we imported a lot of contacts when we got the site going last year, these were all imported with the format: Firstname_Lastname. i.e. John_Smith   If you think you may have an account try using the forgot password feature. Once you are logged in you can change your user name as you like, and it will keep all your other information (like what team(s) you are on the same). If you are new and would like to create an account use this page here.

Please be a little patient before using the subbing feature on the website as we have to do an extra step of verifying that the account made is legitimate (this is to prevent bots from registering as members).

Thanks! and Good Curling!

It should be a great season of curling with new stones and a great looking paint job!

We have filled both the Fall Sunday and Thursday Night leagues. We have 27 teams on Sunday and another 9 on Thursday night making 36 teams in total.

The Fall Sunday League runs 8 weeks every Sunday 2:30 pm - 8:20 pm between Nov 3rd and Dec 22nd. The Fall Thursday League night league runs from Nov 7th through Jan 9th at 7:00 pm - 9:20 pm. The public is always welcome to come watch and cheer.

With our sucessful 2018-2019 season, the Bozeman Curling Club board decided it was time to invest in new set of stones to replace the older metal handled stones that we purchased from Bozeman Parks and Rec. Those stones were intended for outdoor use and were somewhat mismatched (if you played leage on Sheet 1 you should have noticed the two black stones that were noticeably different and slower than the other stones in the set).

Once the decision was made, Ryan Anderson negotiated a deal with George of Philips Stone and Rink Supply (formerly Dakota Curling Supplies) of Langdon, ND to trade in these old rocks for stones of beautiful Red Trefor granite quarried in Wales + new handles (Olympic Red and Yellow) with markings of sheet and number. The new stones were lightly used by their former owners, which was a club in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

To get the stones here, Ryan and Pat Anderson loaded the 1344 lbs of the old rocks, hauling them to Langon, ND and hauled back the new rocks for an 1800 mile, 4 day round trip. We all need to give Ryan and Pat a hearty cheer of thanks. Thanks!

The price of the new stones was $366 ea  + diesel, but we were able to get $200 ea for the old stones and handles, so the final cost to the club is very reasonable.

I am sure we are all looking forward to playing with our new stones this coming fall season. League starts on the first Sunday in November!

The 2018/2019 Bozeman Curling Club Leagues were a great success. In the Winter Session there were 25 teams playing on Sunday, and 10 playing on Thurday - with only two overlaps, making a total of 33 teams, and 165+ members in the Bozeman Curling Club.

The BCC also hosted the 3rd Annual Bozspiel with 23 teams participating from Montana, Utah, Washington, and Nebraska.

This year's leagues ended with a Mini-Tournament on March 10th crowning The Sharp Shooters as league champs. Congrats!

We would like to thank all of the BCC members for making curling a fun and growing sport in Bozeman.

We hope to see you all next season, and keep looking back here for news, Learn 2 Curl dates, and registration for the 2019/2020 season.

The 2019 Bozspiel is complete and we hope everyone had a great time (despite the deep freeze conditions). We had teams from as far away as Logan, Utah (Bum Brushers) and Omaha, Nebraska (Total Sheetshow) and several teams from our sister clubs in Missoula, Billings, Butte, and Havre.  

Things started off on Friday night at Nordic Brew Works where we had a wonderful social with half off beers and really tasty appetizers. Saturday morning we started off with really excellent breakfast burritos sponsored by Santa Fe Reds and prepared by Belgrade High School ProStart students. The curling started 8 am Saturday, and the beer drinking (Bozeman, Outlaw, Madison, and Big Sky Brewing all providing kegs) started soon after we got some of it thawed out. Did we mention the cold? Curling continued with great comaraderie and competition (see Bozeman Daily Chronicle in Jan 13th Big Sky Section) throughout Saturday till midnight and restarted Sunday morning proceeded by donuts from Granny's Gourmet Donuts. The final draws ended at a little after 2 pm and medals were awarded.
