In curling, the hog line is a designated line on the ice that players must release the stone before crossing. If a stone is released after crossing the hog line, it is considered a "hogged" stone and is removed from play. The hog line helps ensure that players deliver the stone with enough force and accuracy to reach the target area, enhancing the game's competitive nature. There are two hog lines on each side of the ice sheet, one near the throwing end and another near the house.

Why is the hog line called the hog line?
The hog line in curling is named for the term "hog," which refers to a stone that does not reach the designated line during play. Historically, the term may have originated from the practice of using a hog to indicate where stones needed to be delivered. If a stone fails to cross the hog line, it is considered out of play and removed from the game. Thus, the hog line serves as a crucial marker for the validity of a thrown stone.
What is the length of a sheet lane of ice for curling?
In curling, the length of a sheet of ice is typically 42.07 meters (138 feet) from the back of one hog line to the back of the other hog line. The width of the sheet is about 4.75 meters (15.5 feet). Each sheet is marked with lines, including the hog lines and the house, where the target is located.

Where is light on curling stone handle?
The lights are on the lower round plastic part of the handle, just in front of and to either side of where the actual part you grab meets it. The lights are used to indicate hog line violations. The "hog line" is the thick line running across the sheet 15 feet out from the house. The rock must be released from the shooter's hand before the rock reaches the hog line. If the rock is not released in time, it's called a "hog line violation" or "hogged rock," and the rock must be removed from play immediately, with no do-over of the shot. It used to be that an official would sit at the hog line and watch for violations, but that was subject to human error. Now, at major national and international competitions, electronic touch-sensitive handles are used instead. Green lights illuminate if the rock is released before the hog line. Red lights flash if the rock is not released in time.
