Very cool news from south of the border. Pete Fenson and his rink of Scott Baird, John Shuster and Shawn Rojeski, and Joe Polo have been named the team of the year, by the US Olympic commitee. The bronze medal represents the first olympic curling medal for the US and I suspect it won’t be the last one either.

Hopefully, this news will continue to increase interest in the game throughout the United States and get more people out to experience this great game.
Congratulations boys, you deserve it and thank you for creating more buzz for our ‘quirky sport’.

Patrons of the upcoming Brier in hamilton can now purchase day passes for seats that weren’t snapped up during weekly pass sales.

From the curling.ca press release:

“This is a great opportunity for curling fans to pick a day of their choosing to enjoy all the flavour of the Tim Hortons Brier,” said Host Committee Chairman Dwayne Pyper. “It’s another way to allow fans who may not be able to attend for the entire week or for either the first or last weekend to at least experience the event for a day, at a very affordable price.”

And yes, entry to the Brier patch is included. Get’em while its hot, or before all the seats are gone….get Brier tickets online at the CCA website� here.�
