Curling doesn't make you fit, ... but you have to be fit to curl.

Bemidji is the leader in curling.

Curling is getting a little bit more popular because of the Olympics. We want to be able to promote the sport because it's not very well known.

Curling was a huge family sport — our lives totally revolved around it. I got totally hooked.

Curling teams pick their own players. You have to be able to play with people you get along with on and off the ice. We like to think of ourselves as equals out there. Each of us could play any position. Our philosophy is simple — be patient on the ice and have fun.

I really enjoy the football season.
