- Warm clothing. Layers are good. Fleece or other fabrics that shed will not be allowed on the ice.

- Helmets are strongly recommended but are not mandatory. If you are using a helmet it must be approved for curling, ice hockey or snow sports. Bicycle helmets are not appropriate for curling.
Our Pro Shop stocks all necessary curling equipment and attire.
Locker rooms are on the lower level of the club. Please use the appropriate locker rooms to get ready and store your gear. Parents & guests should also bring slippers or indoor shoes. Outdoor footwear must be left in the locker room. This will help to keep our club and ice surface clean.
