Crokicurl

Try out Canada’s newest winter pastime! Crokicurl is a fun new outdoor sport that combines two Canadian favourites – Crokinole and curling. 

About Crokicurl

Crokicurl is a large-scale version of the Crokinole board game combined with curling. The objective of the game is to score the most points by shooting a small curling rock into the centre button (20 points), and trying to position the rocks to stay within the highest scoring circle at the end of each round (red circle = 15 points, white circle = 10 points, blue circle = 5 points). 

Safety

  • Stay off the ice while others are throwing the rocks.
  • Do not throw rocks too hard to reduce risk to other players and prevent damage to the rocks.

Equipment needed

The only equipment needed is the curling stones which are provided at the site during Crokicurl rink opening hours.
