I was first introduced to Curling in 1974.

When my husband and I transferred to a town 8 miles south of the Canada border in NE North Dakota, we went to watch a Curling match.

My husband had no idea what this sport was. I told him it was Bocce Ball, but on ice instead of grass. He understood being he was half Sicilian. His uncles and cousins played it in parks and their small back yards in Brooklyn and the Bronx.
