History

Dakota Curling Club was founded in February 2006 in response to the growing demand for curling in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. In 2013 the club won the Women's Arena Club Curling Championships in Ft. Wayne, Indiana.[4]

In 2018 the club hosted the United States Mixed Curling Championship, the national championship for mixed teams consisting of two men and two women.[5]
