ENTER The New Millennium With Tech-Curling
THE WORLD CURLING ALLIANCE   TO PERFECT and PROMOTE

   HEAVY ICE / SLOW ICE
    When ice friction conditions are at a level to cause a rock to traverse hogline to hogline in less than 13 seconds while stopping at the far "T"-line.

   HERRINGBONE ICE
    The marks on the ice whether visible or not visible made by the ice technician’s "ice shaving" machine when the blade is angled while shaving/preparing the ice surface. The "marks" have the same affect on a rock as angle mowing grass has on a golf ball.

  HIT
    The takeout or movement of an object rock when struck by the shooter.

    HOCKEY ICE – ARENA ICE
    A hockey arena ice sheet adapted for use as curling ice.

    HOGLINE
    One of two such lines 72' apart separating the two in-play areas at each end of the sheet. The curler’s hand must be removed from the delivered stone before it clears the near hogline (Canadian rules) and is in-play if it clears/stops past the far hogline and does not touch the side boards/lines.

  HOUSE
    The rings plus the playing area the width of a rock around the 12' circle toward which play is directed.

  HURRY
    Command given by the skip to brush vigorously i.e., fast and hard.

 ICE
    The estimated distance/curl as measured from the center of the target brush to the point on the ice at which the center of the shooter rock is to stop (draw). Or (hit) – the target point on or near an object rock that the center of the shooter would pass if the object rock was theoretically lifted vertically to allow the shooter to pass.

   IMAGERY
    The mental visualization of a stationary situation, a scene, in contrast to visualization which infers the mental picturing of motion.
