Curling can actually get somewhat significant attention here in Canada at certain times of the winter, especially in the west. There is a fairly large men's tournament and a women's tournament, skins games (similar in format to golf only it goes by ends, which are like periods in other sports and there are ten per game) and then the world championships. It certainly doesn't get the attention that sports like hockey, basketball or football get, but it is often shown on TSN, which is basically the Canadian ESPN.
