The World Curling Federation (WCF) has extended its partnership with Rock Solid Productions into a fifth year.

Formed in 2008, the Canadian company promotes curling across the world with a particular focus on areas where access to ice is limited.

They have provided FloorCurl and Street Curling products in countries such as Nigeria, Kosovo, Guyana and Mexico.

These allow players to curl even if they do not live near dedicated facilities.

"I'm delighted to extend this partnership with Rock Solid Productions so that we continue to make strides in our efforts to make curling as inclusive as possible and so that it can be played in many more countries across the globe," said WCF President Kate Caithness.

Rock Solid will soon introduce a video series to explain how to introduce floor curling equipment.

"I'm incredibly proud to be extending our partnership with the World Curling Federation and to continue to align with the great development work that they do," said Chad McMullan, the company's owner and President.

"Our agreement has enabled us to help develop the sport in many non-traditional countries that wouldn't normally be associated with curling or even ice sports. 

"I'm eager to continue to share our iceless curling innovations with as many curling fans as possible."
