U.S. curling is in a crisis, with multiple controversies raging in public view. One centers on whether USA Curling should fire its CEO over his handling of sexual abuse allegations when he formerly led the women’s pro soccer league.
U.S. curlers Becca Hamilton , Nina Roth and Tara Peterson compete at the Beijing Winter Olympics in February. The sport normally sees a bump in interest during an Olympics — but it’s also experiencing other challenges, including a leadership struggle.
Conrad says the GNCC and USA Curling clashed over how dues should be handled even before the pandemic hit — arguments that included what she calls “personal conflicts and power struggles.” It grew worse, she said, when some of GNCC’s clubs looked to resign from the national body while retaining ties with the regional body, so they could still rent equipment and get other help.
The GNCC is scheduled to have a hearing with USA Curling’s judiciary committee on Friday, hours ahead of a vote that would remove the group. If the GNCC is ousted, its member clubs would be left to join USA Curling on their own if they want to be part of the national body.
