I just found out that we have a dedicated curling only rink here in Phoenix. Blows me away.

The Official Coyotes Curling Web Site - Curling Club Arizona

If Phoenix wants to host a Winter Olympics it has my vote.

We could pull off the Winter Olympics here except for about 90% of the events involving ice or snow.

Curling had to be invented by drunk Canadians in a dive bar.

If by 'dive bar' you mean some random frozen lake. Then yes.

Just looked it up, it was actually invented by the Scottish back in the 1500's...so yes, most likely drunk.

That's kind of a rude thing to say about your sister/brother.

Oh the Scotts, god love’em!! But I as a Canadian will gladly accept the honourable mention. Haha! I’d save the drinking until afterwards however, being unstable on ice... probably not too safe!

It’s a very fun winter sport, and much like golf, way harder than the pros make it look!!

My SIL built a regulation Curling rink on his property in Talkeetna, Alaska. He opens it up to travelling leagues and clubs in the winter. I have a pic somewhere - i'll try to find and post it.
