Medicine Hat’s Curling & Hockey Scene

Tigers & Curling at Medicine Hat Arena

Curling in Alberta? Well of course. Often the host of the Tim Hortons Brier, Alberta is home to many curling clubs, venues and accomplished curling leagues. Visitors to Medicine Hat – an Alberta city set in the southeastern region of the province – can attest to the enthusiasm residents and travelers hold for this intense sport.

Recent host of the Canada Cup of Curling, Medicine Hat is also home to the Medicine Hat Curling Club, Medicine Hat Family Leisure Centre, and the Medicine Hat Arena. When you decide to visit Medicine Hat, check the calendar for annual bonspiels held at the Medicine Hat Curling Club at the corner of Second Street Southeast and Ash Avenue Southeast. Catch the Yuletide Bonspiel is late December, or the Alberta Junior Championships in early January. No matter the league you’re cheering for, the Medicine Hat Curling Club has you covered during your time in southern Alberta.

Another icy attraction of Gas City is the Medicine Hat Tigers – known to roar their way through the Western Hockey League. Members of the central division of the eastern conference, the Medicine Hat Tigers have won five WHL League Championships and two national Memorial Cups. Known to sell out the Medicine Hat Arena, the Tigers are yet another example of how Alberta knows hockey.
