Uplifter Inc. Acquires Curling Club Manager to Power the Future of Curling Technology

[North America]Uplifter Inc., a leading North American sports management software provider, is proud to announce the acquisition of Curling Club Manager, the most widely used club management platform purpose-built for curling.

This acquisition strengthens Uplifter’s focus on key sports verticals, combining curling-specific innovation with Uplifter’s multi-sport technology to deliver a modern, scalable solution for the entire curling community, from grassroots clubs to national governing bodies.

“This is a major step forward for curling,” said Anthony Chalhoub, CEO of Uplifter Inc. “Bringing Curling Club Manager under the Uplifter umbrella ensures the technology that clubs already trust will continue to evolve, helping administrators save time, enhance member experiences, and grow the sport.”

Curling Club Manager has become the go-to software for clubs across Canada and the United States, offering intuitive scheduling, online registration, communication, and ice management tools.

As part of the acquisition, Paul McDonald, CEO of Curling Club Manager, will remain with the company to continue leading the Curling Club Manager platform. Working alongside Colin Hodgson, Uplifter’s Director of Business Development for Curling and a former competitive athlete in the sport, they will guide the expansion of Uplifter’s curling division and lead its ongoing digital transformation.

For existing curling clubs, it will be business as usual, with plans already underway to introduce new features and deeper integrations led by Paul and the Uplifter development team.

“We’re bringing together two organizations that share the same goal, empowering curling clubs with tools that make their operations smoother and their communities stronger,” said Colin Hodgson. “With Paul continuing to lead Curling Club Manager, we’re positioned to elevate the sport’s technology and growth for years to come.”
