On Mar. 6-13, 2022, the best mixed doubles curling teams from across the United States will compete for the championship title at Bob Suter’s Capitol Ice Arena.
“We are thrilled to be hosting the USA Curling Mixed Doubles Nationals at Bob Suter’s Capitol Ice Arena in Middleton,” remarked Jamie Patrick, Vice President of Madison Area Sports Commission. “Our community has a rich history in the sport of curling, with one of the largest curling clubs in the country and proudly being the hometown of Olympic curlers Matt and Becca Hamilton. Coming on the heels of the 2022 Olympics, this event will give residents the chance to watch international caliber competitors right in their own backyard.”
The winners of the 2022 Mixed Doubles National Championship will advance to represent the United States at the 2022 World Championship.
“The state of Wisconsin has proven to be an imperative and influential market for our sport,” said USA Curling CEO Jeff Plush. “We’re eager to bring one of our premiere Championships to Middleton to continue to garner the passion and enthusiasm of the greater Madison area.”
The enthusiasm Plush describes can be seen in the area all season as the Madison Curling Club celebrates its centennial year of operation.
USA Curling looks forward to working with Visit Middleton, Madison Area Sports Commission, Capitol Ice Arena, and countless area curlers to put on a historic event.
