“Enthusiasm for our sport in North Carolina is yet another example of the momentum curling has outside of its traditional areas of popularity,” said CEO of USA Curling Dean Gemmell in a news release. “The Charlotte Curling Association and the Triangle Curling Club are welcoming, curling-specific facilities with robust participation, while Coastal Carolina Curling offers our sport the Wilmington Ice House.”
The USA Curling Men’s and Women’s Nationals feature the country’s top eight women’s and top eight men’s teams. Teams earn berths through their ranking on the World Curling Team Ranking System and other qualifying events held throughout the season.
Schedules and ticket information will be released closer to the event.
