The Path to the Road to the Roar

#BetweenTheSheets: The Path To The Road To The Roar

Ready to start sliding towards the Olympic Trials in Saskatoon?


It is a beautiful Fall day. You grab your favourite water bottle. Put on your favourite walking outfit. And you hit the trails to get some much needed exercise.

You find your entry to the path and start walking. Birds chirping. Sun shining. Small breeze. Everything is relaxing and perfect.

Then you hit a detour.

The path makes you turn left.

You shrug your shoulders and continue along the path as directed.

Another detour.

You now are going right.

"Ok, this is weird," you tell yourself but it is a nice day and you are out enjoying yourself so you venture on.

Another detour. Again?!

Another left. Followed by another left. Followed by two right's.

Now you look around and in true "The Simple Life" Paris Hilton-style you ask yourself, "Where the hell am I?"

Confused on where you are? How many turns have your taken? How many detours are there?

Welcome to the 2021 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials process.

#BetweenTheSheets: Rocks Will Spin From West To East

Curling fans have big events to watch in Edmonton and Oakville


Curling fans love September.

Sure the nice summer weather starts to drift away and our days start getting a bit shorter but curling ice is placed and competitive events hit our calendars.

This is one of the top, and most competitive, weekends on the curling season calendar.

Huge events in Edmonton and Oakville featuring top contending teams from across Canada and around the world.

And teams are prepping for an Olympic season.

Ring the bell....the drama is about to begin.

Dreams will be made...and dreams will be shattered.

And it all begins with this weekend *officially*
