The Montreal Thistle Curling Club, 1843-1943
|
| Abstract |
The game of curling became very popular in nineteenth-century Montreal and interest in the sport inspired the founding of the Montreal Thistle Curling Club on December 19, 1843, by a small group of Montrealers made up of D. McTavish, Robert Speirs, John Bethune, Richard Harrison, John Auld, John and William Greenshields, J. B. Torry, Robert Muir, J. Simpson and John Armour, Jr. Club members initially played outdoors on the frozen St. Lawrence River and later created a rink in an old flour shed near the Lachine Canal. The Club was incorporated in 1870 and inaugurated its new rink on St. Monique Street. In 1912, the Club established its new site at 1490 Fort Street. One hundred and fifty-six years after its founding, financial difficulties forced the association to close its physical doors in the fall of 1999.
