The St. Paul Curling Club runs a six-sheet rink with a large upstairs viewing area overlooking the ice, a space the club also rents out for meetings and events. Leagues run most nights of the week, from a Monday competitive league and open recreational nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays to junior curling on Wednesdays, senior curling on Wednesdays and Fridays, and school teams, and the club fills out the rest of its calendar with funspiels. St. Paul’s curling community is strong enough that the town has hosted a provincial women’s curling championship at the Clancy Richard Arena, another MCSnet sponsored hotspot just a few blocks away.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the curling rink, so anyone in the building can get online without relying on a cell signal. Between ends, curlers in the viewing area can check the draw schedule or catch up on messages, and visiting teams in town for a bonspiel can pull up directions or confirm a hotel booking without burning through their own data.
Where: 4802 53 Street, St. Paul, Alberta.

A curling rink is a steel-and-concrete building on the edge of town, and cell reception inside it is often weak. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection means curlers, coaches, and spectators can stay online through a full afternoon of draws without hunting for a signal near a window.
