Welcome to Broomstones!

We are pleased to welcome you to the 77th USWCA National Women’s Bonspiel. We have planned an exciting event full of great curling, food and fun. Our wishes for you this week: that you enjoy the ice, the competition and friendship of your sister curlers, our foods which celebrate Boston’s neighborhoods, the warm home hosts of Friday evening’s social dinner, and that you find the many ways that Beantown Rocks!

Hosting an event of this magnitude is no small task and wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of volunteers from both Broomstones and The Country Club. Our sincere thanks to everyone who worked to make this bonspiel a success. We are so happy to have you here. Good Curling!

Broomstones Curling Club

On behalf of everyone at Broomstones Curling Club, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 USWCA National Bonspiel. We are honored to host teams representing clubs from across the country and to bring together such a wonderful cross-section of our curling community. This event is a celebration of competition, connection, and the unique friendships that form when curlers from different regions come together on the ice.

The National Bonspiel is special in that it highlights club representation and provides the opportunity to meet and play teams from other parts of the country—especially during the opening days of draw play. We look forward to a week filled with spirited games, great conversations, and the camaraderie that defines our sport.

Broomstones is especially proud to serve as your host. Our volunteers have worked hard to prepare the ice and our facility, and we are committed to offering warm hospitality throughout your stay. Congratulations to all of the teams participating—we are excited to welcome you and look forward to seeing some wonderful curling at Broomstones.

United States Women’s Curling Association

Welcome to the 77th USWCA National Bonspiel, hosted this year by Broomstones Curling Club in Wayland, Massachusetts, and The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. We are thrilled to welcome 32 outstanding teams from across the country for this special and historic event.

This year’s bonspiel marks an important milestone. It will be the final National Bonspiel played with the 10-end format, as future championships move to 8-end games. We are honored to celebrate this moment in USWCA history together with all of you.

Adding to the excitement, this bonspiel takes place during the Olympic season, a time when curling is showcased on the world stage and enthusiasm for our sport is at its peak. It is a fitting backdrop for a championship that reflects both the rich tradition and the evolving future of women’s curling.

We extend our sincere thanks to our host clubs, volunteers, officials, sponsors, and supporters whose dedication makes this event possible. We also thank the teams for their commitment, sportsmanship, and passion for the game.

We hope you enjoy the competition, the camaraderie, and the opportunity to be part of this memorable chapter in USWCA history. Best of luck to all teams, and may your time on and off the ice be rewarding and unforgettable.
