Found this beautiful vintage curling sweater while thrift shopping today. It’s in perfect condition, stoked to have it

Curling Canada just released the draw schedule for the Pre-Trials and with it, the news that Team Carruthers has withdrawn, citing Reid’s coaching commitments with Team Einarson. Wonder what that means for the future of that team in general.

EXCITING NEWS! I have written a book about curling, designed to be enjoyed by curlers and non-curlers alike, out on Douglas and McIntyre on October 14. Pre-orders available now:

Some June gossip incoming: hearing some big changes are afoot on the men’s side of the game in Scotland. Mouat and Whyte lineups are remaining unchanged but the rest?

Team McDonald announcing on Instagram they’ve parted ways with Dallas Burgess. I don’t know for sure but if I had to guess, they’ll look inside Manitoba for a replacement

On the women’s side of the Trials there are two factors:
1) LSG loses her pre-Trials spot due to losing two team members;
2) points were awarded for last year’s U20 championship but haven’t yet for this year. Plett is 1 point behind Englot so if points are granted, she gets it

I can’t see any material difference being made at the Players, so I believe the Trials and pre-Trials fields are set for the men, barring any team change that sees two members removed.

An apology:

Team MacMillan announcing on Instagram they’re parting ways with Sarah Daniels. They’re in a very interesting spot because they might be one of the only Trials or Pre-Trials teams actively looking for a player. Could potentially see a big fish landing there
