Marc Claveau, Housekeeping Committee ICE MAINTENANCE Kevin Breivik “Spirit of Due to the extreme cold air temperatures that we experience in January and February, Ice 1 and Ice 6 become sloped. What is happening is that the ice is slowly turning into water vapour. The fancy name for it is sublimation. The rest of us call it Curling freeze drying. It’s about the states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. When it’s frozen, water can jump from solid directly to gas, skipping the liquid state, usually in between. It’s also what causes that homemaker horror: freezer burn.

  • I Don't Think That's Special to Curling
    “I Don’t Think That’s Special to Curling:” Older Men’s Experiences of Curling’s New Rationality Kristi A. Allain 2 Curling was perhaps once the sport the least associated with discipline and athleticism, instead having a reputation for drinking and smoking, an ethos prizing conviviality over competition, and a structure enabling amateurs to compete at the highest levels. However, during the gold-medal-winning performance of Team Brad Jacobs, a group of muscular young Canadian men, at the 2014 Winter Olympics, the public and media began celebrating changes in the sport that were already well under way. As curling enters a new era of rationalized training, fitness, and professionalization, this paper draws on interviews with older male curlers in two mid-size Canadian cities, and Ratele’s work on tradition, to ask what has been lost. Participants often embraced curling’s new emphasis on physical fitness. However, they also worried about the diminishing traditions of sociability, sportsmanship, and accessibility within the sport. Keywords: Curling, embodiment, rationality, aging, neoliberalism, tradition, third age, masculinity 3 The sport of curling, traditionally associated with older adults, beer bellies, cigarette smoking, and sociability, has entered an age where dominant discourses promote a strict diet, little alcohol, no smoking, and constant physical activity as a means of “aging well” in the sport. In light of these new social pressures to age well through rationalized participation in curling, what are the experiences of old(er) men in the sport? To answer this question, I explore the binary between curling practices associated with rational achievement and health, and those associated with tradition, or the history of the sport.
