Local Students To Get Intro To Curling

In the lead up to the world collegiate curling athletes competing in Saranac Lake, Olympic curling gold medalist Tyler George and Adirondack Mac, the official mascot for the Lake Placid 2023 FISU World University Games, will present the sport to Saranac Lake Central School District students on Dec. 5-6. The two schools, Petrova Elementary and Middle School and Saranac Lake High School, will each host assemblies and participate in select gym classes to help explain the nuances and strategies behind curling, often referred to as Chess on Ice.
