CALGARY --
The odd bedfellows of the sport of curling and the board game crokinole are expected to draw curious onlookers to a community centre in southeast Calgary.
Phil Fulton, a member of the Acadia Recreation Centre's crokicurl committee, has been flooding the crokicurl rink and painting the lines over the past few weeks. He says the game is simple, welcoming and fun.
"The purpose is just like crokinole," explained Fulton. "You shoot your rock from the outside of the board.
"Ideally, you want to get as many points. So if you can get it inside for 20 points, great, and then just like curling, you can knock out the other player's rocks."
