Fun Fact: Former 🇨🇦 Youth Olympians competing at 2023 Scotties/Brier include MB Karlee Burgess (gold), AB Tyler Tardi (gold), BC Sterling Middleton (gold), YT Thomas Scoffin (bronze) & NL Nathan Young (gold - Mixed Doubles). Growing the game from the grassroots! (Photo: IOC)

My FB memory today: Scotties final in Kingston between ON Team Homan 🥌 and MB Team Jennifer Jones (2013 versions, of course) in front of a noisy home crowd. #curlingmemories

From the 2019 World Junior Curling Championships in Liverpool, NS (where TeamKevinKoe's Tyler Tardi won gold for Canada). Kinda says it all... #CurlingDayInCanada

There’s a storm building out there, but it’s Team Gushue on TSN Curling and the thermos is full (just in case - tea a necessity) and the next week is all #Brier2023 so, yeah, I’m good! #OnStorm

Actually I was REALLY multitasking! Yes, TeamKevinKoe vs Team Dunstone was on my other screen, on mute, just out of view … 🥌 #Brier2023 TSN Curling

Hey! I remember this event Team Gushue! (Found this forgotten treasure in my old parka pocket) #1

In the town where I learned how to curl (in a cozy 2-sheeter), curling history is strong - and makes its way into the weekly paper, too. (Also, you can't make this stuff up....) #curling #grassroots

Ice melt. End of the season. Sigh. #grassrootscurling

Yup. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #curlingislife

Have you heard of Triples Curling yet? It's a new version of the game that's gaining popularity across Canada! Read all Triples Curling and Saskatchewan's success in implementing it at the youth level ➡️ curling.ca/blog/2023/07/1…

We’ve come so far, but what fun to look back, right?? TeamKEinarson Team Homan 🥌 Team Lawes Team Jennifer Jones Team McCarville Curling Canada

An article on Performance Marketing World website analyzes the success of the bet365 marketing campaign using curling. Okay. But not crazy about the language used: "strange Winter Olympic Sport" & "such an odd little sport." Sigh. performancemarketingworld.com/article/184785…

Sentimentally transported back to my days on the Curling Canada media bench: long days in a cold arena, followed by late nights in a hotel room, getting media prepared & posted. Ten days of bedlam & bad eating. I loved every minute! (Especially the people!)

Fun Fact: 4 #STOH2024 curlers competed against each other at the 2015 Canada Winter Games - Bayly Scoffin (YT), Dezaray Hawes (BC), Karlee Burgess (MB-J) & Kira Brunton (ON-I), who won gold with NO. Yay for 🇨🇦youth curling development! Bryan Mudryk TSN Curling Curling Canada

Fun Fact: When Selena Sturmay's 🇨🇦team won the silver medal at the 2019 World Juniors in Liverpool NS, the team alternate was Karlee Burgess. #STOH2024 #curling

The spine-tingling #curling memory that will stay with me forever Team Gushue Thank you! (And then we all followed it up with that party in The Patch...)

A million years ago when I wrote stories for Curling Canada this was one of my faves. Team Howard's curling camp showed how much Glenn & team loved the game & its people. We'll miss you on the ice, Glenn Howard! curling.ca/blog/2013/10/1…

From my writerly life. I love when writing and #curling intersect! Congrats to the Fergus Curling Club (the oldest continuously operating curling club in Ontario) on your 190th anniversary. @CurlOntario Curling Canada ow.ly/XsY650TeQ4P

Spent many hours on the Curling Canada media bench (aka my kitchen table) covering 🇨🇦 teams around the world. Who needs streaming? The suspense between World Curling screen refreshes is awesome! Team Gushue Team Homan 🥌
