Curling Team Names for Club Nights, Doubles, and Bonspiels

Your stone has other plans, your skip is negotiating with it, and everyone has suddenly become very enthusiastic about sweeping.

Give that familiar scene a curling team name worth putting on a jacket, whether you're learning together, entering a bonspiel, or returning for another weekly dose of friendly competition.

Curling team names I'd put on the entry form

• Drawn to Trouble: My favorite compact pun for a team with ambitious shot selection.
• The Skip Said Maybe: For friends who can laugh at a moment of tactical indecision.
• House Guests on Ice: A welcoming name that makes its curling connection clear.
• Takeout, Hold the Fries: For a group equally interested in the next shot and the food afterward.
• The Button Negotiators: A good choice for a team with strong opinions about where the stone should finish.
• Our Best End Is Next: The name I'd choose for newer players who are enjoying the learning process.

Funny curling names for imperfect shots

• The Stone Heard Something Else
• The Guard Was Accidental
• Hurry, Then Reconsider
• The Ice Has the Last Word
• We Meant to Leave It There
• The Apology End
• Our Draw Took the Long Way
• The Broom Is Not the Problem

The Guard Was Accidental is my pick for a friendly league because the joke leaves a little room for pretending it was clever strategy.

Short curling names for jackets and scoreboards

• Granite Nerves
• Broom for Improvement
• Button Business
• Stone Intent
• Skip the Speech
• End Credits

Granite Nerves is the serious option, while End Credits gives you a small joke that doesn't require squeezing a whole sentence across a jacket.

Sweeping and broom-inspired team names

• Brush Hour Traffic
• Sweeping Reservations
• Broom Service Call
• Sweep Talkers
• The Extra Effort End
• The Broom Bag Parliament
• Arms on Overtime
• Swept Up in the Debate

Brush Hour Traffic gets my vote for an easy spoken pun; Arms on Overtime is for the teammates doing the work while everyone else has advice.

Sweeping isn't part of wheelchair curling, so a stone, house, or strategy-based name is a better match for that discipline than one centered on brooms.

House, button, and hammer team names

The house is the target, the button is its center, and the hammer is the last-stone advantage, not a piece of equipment.

• House of Second Guesses
• The Button Has Visitors
• Hammer with a Plan
• The Housewarming Stones
• Last Stone, First Choice
• Buttoned Up on Ice
• The House Inspection Crew
• The Hammer Time-Out

Those terms, along with the differences between disciplines, are explained in World Curling's guide; I like House of Second Guesses for an especially talkative team.

Curling doubles team names

• The Two-Person House Meeting
• Paired with Granite
• Two Voices, One Draw
• The Partners' Stone Exchange
• Double the Draw Drama
• Both of Us Called That

Two Voices, One Draw is my choice for two partners without making the name depend on whether they're friends, relatives, or a couple.

Names for four-player curling teams

• The Four-Way Ice Discussion
• Four Players, One House Key
• The Granite Quartet
• One Skip, Three Suggestions
• Four Enduring Optimists
• Four Minds, One End

Use a headcount joke for a playing team it actually fits, and choose a flexible name when you're naming a larger club roster with substitutes.

Competitive curling names without the big claims

• Draw Weight Discipline
• The Last-End Standard
• Granite Composure
• House Position
• The Settled Stone
• Measured on Ice
• Control through the End
• The Clean Release

The Clean Release is my pick for a restrained team identity, especially when a crest and club colors will do the rest.

For a name based on determination rather than curling equipment, the powerful team names offer a different direction.

Club-night names for the social side of curling

• The Weekly Granite Appointment
• Same Sheet, Next Tuesday
• The Post-End Conversation
• Friendly until the Final Stone
• The Borrowed Broom Reunion
• The Clubhouse Replay
• Good Company, Questionable Draws
• The Next Bonspiel Breakfast

Good Company, Questionable Draws keeps the social part first, and The Clubhouse Replay suits people who enjoy discussing a match nearly as much as playing it.

Choose for your team and your club

Read the finalists aloud, picture them on a jacket, and check that another team at your club isn't already using the same name.

A joke about the skip works when the skip enjoys it too; a shared joke about the team's habits gives everybody a place in the name.

Drawn to Trouble is my all-purpose choice, Our Best End Is Next suits beginners, and The Clean Release fits a more serious team.
