How do you set up a curling league schedule for 8 teams on 4 sheets of ice?
The USBC has already done all the work for you. If you check out their site, they have formats for every combination. Just select the number of weeks that you need. See link below for more information.
Set it up to play 3 times against all the other teams in the league and have 7 position rounds scattered throughout saving a position round for the last night to add excitement. The easiest way is to get an ABC chart and follow their schedule.

because the wait for the Olympics was long so they created summer and winter
The winter Olympic sports such as skiing and ice skating require cold weather (in order to have snow and ice) whereas summer Olympic sports are more easily played in warm weather, so it would be difficult to have all these different events in the same season. That's why there is both a summer Olympics and a winter Olympics.
