Andrew,
if you're shooting in an ice rink withbright white areas, the cameras metering system will not know this nad have a tendency to underexpose all your shots. Set the exposure compensation to +1, or maybe +1.5 to allow for this. If you can get to the venue beforehand and experiment with this it will be helpful.
Think about the angles you are going to shoot from, it will ook dull and boring if all pictures of the action are taken from your standing position. Try getting low, very low, getting in close and doing some tight crops of the curler's faces. This is a sport that's all about tension and concentration, work on that, this is what you have to capture.
