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). 

Equipment needed

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

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.
