U.S. DEAF CURLING

History of US Deaf Curling

US Deaf Curling started with bang thanks to great performances by the USA men and women curlers winning silver medals at the Winter Deaflympics held at Salt Lake City, Utah in Feb 1-10, 2007. Both teams had less than one year to get the team selected and trained for the Deaflympics. They played very well to qualify for the gold medal game where they were beaten by the experienced and heavily favored Canadian teams. In 2009, USA women won silver medal at the first World Curling and Ice Hockey Championships held in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. USA men placed 5th out of 5 countries.
