Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hockey may be Canada`s game, but curling is Canada`s life. Brought over from Scotland with the 78th Fraser Highlanders, the sport of curling has alleviated many seemingly endless winters, from 1759 to present day. Today, over one million people in Canada are curlers, and Canada boasts more curling world championships and trophies than any other country in the world. With archival and modern photographs as well as informative text, Doug Maxwell recounts the definitive history of curling in Canada. From the highly technical games of Olympians Kelly Law and Ed Martin, back to the first organised curling club in Canada (the Montreal Curling Club founded in 1807) , Maxwell provides a thorough grounding on the “ other” ice sport that has come to define Canada.

Excerpt: ...in the north, to which pilgrims came from far and near for illumination in the "word " and the mysteries, and for instruction in the art. Farther north, again, the Duke of Athole was setting an example to the Scottish nobility, as his successors have continued to do, by taking a personal and sincere interest in our national game. His Grace, it seems, was the inventor of a new style of curling which is thus described by Sir It. Broun in 1830: --"The late Duke of Athole suggested a new mode of curling--viz., upon skates, and with long poles forked at the end. The player fixes this upon the handle of the stone, and then retires ten or twelve yards from the tee. He next swiftly pushes it forward, humouring its motion, and having his eye fixed upon the object to be aimed for at the further end. When the stone reaches the tee he gives it the requisite impulse. This is described as an elegant mode, and makes a highly interesting game." Cairnie remarks on this (Essay, p. 59): "Vanting the skates, ahd with firm footing, this contrivance may be introduced with advantage, if This new plan does not seem to have been accepted to any great extent by curlers, who do not generally care for fanciful deviations from the orthodox methods, but we are inclined to think that the bent-down handles on many of the old stones that have come under our notice, as in the collection at present to be seen at Blair Castle, indicate that the Duke's plan had been tried in a good many places, and more especially with the old implements that were at the time falling into disuse. In the year 1815, Thomas Dick and William Patullo, two pilgrims fromAlyth, got the " word " from Blairgowrie, and on their return home they initiated...

Book excerpt: In what sport can a player be deaf, blind, or semi-mobile? That's right, it's curling.

This engaging book traces the sport's history and its enduring appeal, the highlights and lowlights, the superstars and eccentrics.
