'Tuggeranong ice sports centre could make Canberra the curling capital of Australia' says Riotact

February 10, 2022

ACT Ice Sports Federation President Tony Prescott told the Riotact today that while the Tuggeranong ice sports centre is still awaiting confirmation from the ACT Government, he was confident in the federation's ability to bring curling to Canberra. 

“Even though this is curling, where they throw rocks on the ice, we’re most definitely not between a rock and a hard place on this one; with the new ice sports centre, curling is coming to Canberra,” Mr Prescott said.

“With the creation and establishment of both an ACT Curling Association and the new ice sports centre in Tuggeranong, we would expect to see greater opportunities for Canberra to host a variety of curling events, from grassroots social competition right through to the elite level."
