The USSMCA National Senior Men’s Curling Championships start Thursday at Curl Mesabi in Eveleth.

There are 64 teams scheduled to compete in three divisions: Seniors (55+), Super Seniors (63+), and Masters (68+). The two oldest curlers are 82 years old.

Curl Mesabi has hosted this event twice before: in 2000 and 2005.

“We’ve got one of the few eight-sheet clubs in the country, so we’re able to host these events,” Ardy Nurmi-Wilberg of Curl Mesabi said.

Games start at 8 a.m. Thursday with the finals scheduled for 9 and 11:30 a.m. Sunday. They are open to the public to watch for no charge.
