Curling keeps getting more popular. It has come a long way from the 16th century when Scots slid odd-shaped rocks called loafies on the frozen lochs and marshes of Scotland. Curling in the USA dates back to the 1830s when Scottish soldiers and settlers brought the game to the state of Michigan.  Today there are over 15,000 curlers and 135 clubs in the USA. Around the world, over a million participate in the game in 35 countries, though 90% of those million curlers are in Canada.
