The Eau Claire Curling Club (ECCC) is pleased to offer local businesses the opportunity to broaden their visibility to a diverse population from the Chippewa Valley. We have multiple advertising options at various price ranges. Advertisement options include ads on the wall, in our ice, and on our streaming service. All options include a free ad on our website, unless otherwise stipulated. We encourage our membership to patronize those who support curling in general and the ECCC specifically.
Our membership, while primarily from the city of Eau Claire, extends to Menomonie, Colfax, Elk Mound, Chippewa Falls, Altoona, Fall Creek, Fairchild, Eleva, and Mondovi. Members range in age from 12 to beyond retirement as curling is a sport that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. Occupations reflected in our membership are quite diverse including private business owners, educators, engineers, architects, plumbers, medical professionals, electricians, private and public employees, students and others. We had over 300 members during the 2023-2024 season, and anticipate having similar membership for the 2024-25 season.
In addition, the club supports numerous business, social, and educational groups who regularly hold special demonstration/trial sessions during the season. We hold Learn to Curl sessions open to the public. Preparations are currently underway for three bonspiels, including the 2024 Metropolis Open Junior Bonspiel, the 2025 Eau Claire Open Bonspiel, and the 2025 Newbie Bonspiel. Eau Claire Curling Club will also host a stop on the 2024 Can-Am Tour, which is a joint venture between USA Curling and Curling Canada for a three-week tour-style event, this year being hosted in the Upper Midwest. And new for the 2024-25 season, the club will begin hosting drop-in open curling some Saturdays, which will be widely advertised and open to the public. Our hope is to provide low stake opportunities for individuals wanting to try curling the chance to give this sport a try without the stress of signing up for a league. These events bring hundreds of curlers through our club and generate thousands of views on our streaming service.
Advertisements will be visible from October through March. You will only need to provide an image for the advertisement, and ads are renewable annually.
New for the 2024-25 Season: Streaming Advertising
ECCC offers live streaming and playback options of all league games and club-led bonspiels. During the 2023-2024 season, there were over 34,700 streams of ECCC-hosted curling matches.
