The Curling News (TCN), formerly the Canadian Curling News is a publication dedicated to the sport of curling. Formerly a monthly print newspaper, it now publishes its articles on-line.
The Canadian Curling News was founded in 1957[1] by future Canadian Curling Hall of Fame inductee Ted Thonger in Calgary.[2] The publication had 7,800 subscriptions by the end of its first season in print.[3]
Former editors of the publication include Larry Wood,[4] Doug Maxwell,[5] and George Karrys.[6]
Maxwell shut down the publication in 1994,[7] but later brought it back. 1998 Olympic silver medallist George Karrys bought the publication in 2003,[8] and re-branded it as The Curling News.[9] Karrys served as Editor-In-Chief until 2019.[10]
The Curling News was acquired by Roustan Media in 2019. The publication suspended its print operation during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Later that year, it formed a partnership with Sports Illustrated,[11] which lasted until 2024.
