Sports Trivia

What is Saskatchewan’s Official Sport?

a) Football
b) Lacrosse
c) Hockey
d) Curling

Answer:

d) Curling. Curling was named Saskatchewan's official sport in 2001, although many have considered it so for years. Once called the "roaring game" because of the thunderous noise made by corn brooms used to sweep rocks down the ice, curling has a rich history in the province.

From April 2 – 10, 2011 Saskatchewan will host yet another huge curling event. The 2011 World Men’s Curling Championships are coming to Regina, click here to learn more.
