About this site
Positive Ice is a curling community building platform, launched in May 2024 by Broomfitters.
In my years exploring dedicated ice for the Brooklyn Curling Center, I desperately wished for a resource that would shorten the distance from “We should build a facility” to “We’re building a facility.”
Construction, community organization, and fundraising are at the core of building dedicated ice, and each is a deep and complex area to dive into from scratch. They are also often pursued out of order. Before you begin selecting a chiller vendor, you have to have the funds. Before you have the funds, you have to have a strong curling community.
While we can’t build a playbook that fits every club’s unique circumstances, we can build a toolkit to help clubs kickstart the process. Perhaps more importantly, we can build a community of community builders to help improve curling top to bottom.
