#BetweenTheSheets: Preview for Pictou

62 teams arrive in Nova Scotia chasing GSOC glory

Knock, Knock

Who's there?

Orange

Orange who?

Orange you glad it's Tour Challenge Time?!

Hahaha....the blog is trying to be funny today. Maybe it is because we are in November, my favourite month of the year. Or maybe it is because, living in Calgary, we have snow, snow and more snow so I need to find a laugh somewhere. Or maybe it is because I am a few nights away from an annual vacation.

Either way, you laughed right? Either at me or with me, it doesn't matter.

Bring on the orange rings of the Tour Challenge! Is this curling's version of the Tide pod challenge?

Didn't get that one? Look at the rings. Go to your laundry room and look at your Tide pods. Get it?

Annnyway.....moving on.....

#BetweenTheSheets: Canada Cup Ice Bubble Watch Finale

Is the bubble ready to burst for those still in the hunt?

One grand slam major in the books. Another slam event coming up. And a massive Canadian event, with Olympic trial ramifications, is one spin of the rock away.

Welcome to November rock heads!

As the cut-off for finalizing the Canada Cup of Curling field quickly approaches, lets take one final look at the #IceBubbleWatch.

Did recent Masters performances burst the bubble for some teams? Could last-chance results at the upcoming Tour Challenge keep bubble hopes alive for others?

#PACC 2019 Preview

#BetweenTheSheets: Time For The PACC Attack

Shenzhen, China hosts the 2019 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships

Before we even slide out of the hack with this preview can we just admire the logo above?

How great is this event logo? Props to the organizing committee for putting this one together. A logo that doesn't consist of a generic curling athlete silhouette or an overhead view of the rings. Imagine that?!

The logo incorporates a connection to the host city and nation while still connecting to the sport with the bird wings wrapped around to form the familiar curling house image we are all used to. Clever work here.

If this is the future of curling marketing for events I am living for it. A curling event does not have to have a marketing image or said athlete and/or the curling rings to help entice people. A fresh color scheme. A play with imagery. Creativity can go a long way here. I want to see more of this!

Ok lets talk about the event itself, shall we?
