  • Curling in Canada Stephen G. Wieting and Danny Lamoureux North
    Curling in Canada1 Stephen G. Wieting and Danny Lamoureux North American fans of sport long have recognized the prominence of Canadians in ice hockey. Ever since cable television services expanded in the 1980’s to offer both US and Canadian viewers programs with live coverage of the other countries’ sporting events (and as this television industry capital allowed Canadian Football League franchises to bid for United States college stars), US football fans have admired the wide-open style of the Canadian Football League. These presumed dominant Canadian sports aside, the rink of Sandra Schmirler, the four-member team she led to the 1998 Gold Medal in Nagano, was named ‘Canada’s Team’ in 1998 instead of the Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League and Canadian hockey franchises within the National Hockey League.2 World championships have been contested for men in curling since 1957 and women since 1979, and there are few sports of any kind that have witnessed so commanding a dominance by a nation of a sport as Canada in curling. The long and venerable tradition of curling in Canada is relatively unknown to fans and sport scholars outside that country. This general gap in international attention to the sport and its very uniqueness suggest its potent value as a resilient example of sport and cultural memory – that is, how portions of Canada’s cultural legacy are remembered in sports writing, idealized athletic images, and national celebrations of a sporting endeavor. The very recent emergence of the sport onto an international viewing stage provides in sharp detail as well a record of how the history of a national sport and the special features of its performers negotiate the necessary but often treacherous channels leading to global attention.

At the 1988 Winter Olympics held in Calgary, curling was a demonstration sport. The Canadian Women's team, skipped by Vancouver's Linda Moore, the 1985 World Champions, captured the gold medal. Julie Sutton's team from Victoria, the winner of the 1991 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, represented Canada at the 1992 Winter Olympics in France.
