The St. Joseph Curling club was formed in the summer of 2012 when two sets of curling stones, along with all other equipment needed for 4 sheets of ice were purchased by Missouri Western State University. This included 32 Brooms, 8 Hacks, 10 sliders and a pebble. The first curling events were held on August 17 and 18 of 2012. After a successful fall season with many new participants, the second two sets of stones were purchased, giving the club the full four sets needed for participation at Bode Ice Arena.
Missouri Western State University began its first ever curling class in January of 2013 that included 30 students. The first league was held in March of 2013. The club is continuing to grow and is hopeful to introduce curling to the city of St. Joseph and the surrounding communities.
