Curling 101
Do you know what a skip is? A hack? Skip-and-roll? If not, no big deal. This glossary from NBC Olympics explains all of the curling basics. Be sure to take a look before you head to the bonspiel (curling match).
History of Curling in Omaha
The beginnings of curling in Omaha began in 1960 at the old Ak-Sar-Ben Race Track location inside the hockey rink and a couple years later, inside the old 4H Barn during the winter. In 2000, the track and barn were closed and curling in Omaha is now done at UNO's Baxter Arena on the Holland Community Ice.
