The Soo Curlers Association has officially entered the world of pickleball with the launch of eight brand-new rollout courts at the YNCU Curling Centre in Sault Ste. Marie, ON—professionally supported by TSS Pickleball, the official court partner for Pickleball Ontario.

But this project represents more than just a new amenity—it’s a forward-thinking model for how curling clubs across Canada can stay vibrant and busy year-round.

From Ice Sheets to Dinking in the Kitchen: Curling Clubs Are Adapting

Curling facilities face a common challenge: seasonal downtime. What happens when the ice is out?

TSS Pickleball’s rollout court solution is built for precisely this scenario. It transforms idle curling rinks into high-traffic pickleball venues—without permanent alterations to the facility. The courts meet the highest performance standards, unroll quickly and easily, and store compactly, making them the ideal solution for curling clubs, community centres, and multi-use arenas.

This innovation lets clubs:

  • Offer engaging off-season programming for existing members
  • Attract new demographics and grow their community
  • Generate additional revenue by maximizing facility use year-round
  • Build stronger community connections

As detailed in our previous blog, Diversifying Curling Rinks, pickleball offers curling clubs a low-barrier, high-impact sport that complements curling’s community-focused ethos.

Pickleball Now Open for Play in Sault Ste. Marie

The YNCU Curling Centre’s new pickleball courts are now open for:

  • Court Rentals
  • Drop-Ins
  • Paddle Rentals & Balls
