Go up one level in this thread


Boys

I just got off the curling sheet a few hours ago and it was hell of a tight
game. Some serious head scratching moments (and I have curled for 35 years). It
is a lot of fun at any level.

Curling is like everything else, a whole spectrum of abilities. In Canada there
is a professional group of players who manage to get televised frequently.
During the Canadian Men's Championship they have about 15 draws (8 teams playing
each other in a draw) and get about 10-15 thousand people live at the arena for
each draw. The television ratings for the game are high as well. So it is big
here in Canada. If we do not win gold on both the Men's and Women's side there
will be a lot of disappoint Canuck's.
