Mielke Library of Curling
Welcome to the Mielke Library of Curling, containing training and strategy articles written by dear friend and long-time fellow NDCF Board member Jon Mielke. Jon first appeared as a guest columnist in Curling News in 2011, and over a period of nine years wrote over 40 articles for Curling News. They appear here, a treasure trove of education and knowledge from this grand ambassador of curling.
Jon passed away in February 2023, but his knowledge of the Roaring Game and his love of
curling endures within this library.
Jon served on the board of NDCF since the Foundation was created in 1998. He was a founding member of Bismarck's Capital Curling Club and a state men's and four-time senior champion. He coached junior and adult teams at numerous national events, was a national level instructor, and served as Chairperson for the 2002 World Curling Championship in Bismarck.
Jon held every position on the North Dakota Curling Association’s board of directors and was a vice president of the United States Curling Association. In 2012 he was inducted into the United States Curling Hall of Fame, and that same year skipped a 2012 Men’s Scotland Tour team. Jon was a Level III instructor and coach.
NDCF hopes the material contained within this library prepared by Jon is helpful in your pursuit of excellence in the Roaring Game. We are forever indebted to Jon for leaving this collection of wisdom to the curling community.
