While I don't recall the sport being too active downstate besides watching it on CBC (Canadian TV), northern Michiganders seem to have taken to the activity of hurling a stone down a sheet of ice while your teammates use brooms to guide the stone to the intended destination; curling.
The northern Michigan version is a bit different than television as the pros on television aren't sipping on an adult beverage between turns. The local pub has its court outside so Mother Nature is the 'game on/game off' person in allowing play to occur. There isn't enough room for a regulation court but quite an impressive creation by one of the bartenders who has a gift in building things.
There is a waiting list to join the league so I'm going to have to wait out some retirements and continue working on my game.
