The Arena’s hottest new leisure team sport activity is backyard curling. Appropriate for ages 18 to 80, Backyard Curling takes place on the ice, though no special equipment or skates are required. Adapted for the Northwest Arena, Backyard Curling is a low contact activity that is both social and engaging.

Backyard Curling private rentals for parties and instructional play sessions are available. It can be a fun team-building exercise or activity for friends. Participants are encouraged to wear gloves and dress properly for a colder environment.

Curling sessions run during the fall, winter, and spring. Six leagues are available in the fall and winter, which take place on Monday, Wednesday, and a happy hour league on Friday. The spring session contains two leagues one night a week.

The cost for a team is $280, which covers one seasonal session. Four players make up one team and having a maximum of two substitutes in case of absences is recommended.
