In 2003, a group of people came together with the idea to bring curling to the Arizona desert. The club began playing at the Ice Den, an ice rink arena, that they shared with hockey and figure skating. In 2004, the Coyotes hosted the very first Desert Ice Bonspiel. Now a fully operational 501(c)(3) non-profit with a dedicated facility, the Coyotes Curling Club has been the coolest place in the desert for almost 20 years.
