Ice Technician Pathway

Curl PEI is committed to providing ongoing training and support so that Curling facilities have access to personnel who can create great ice surfaces for curling facilities in Prince Edward Island.

Curling Canada’s Ice Technician Training and Certification Pathway consists of two streams. The Curling Centre Stream is intended for individuals who are installing and maintaining ice within a dedicated curling facility for league and bonspiel play. The Competition Ice Stream is intended for individuals installing ice in an arena (non-dedicated curling facility) over an existing ice surface for a short term competitive event.

Curl PEI is the delivery agent for the Curling Centre stream. The program has been recently updated (2022). Curling Canada is the delivery agent of the Competition Stream Programs.
