#BetweenTheSheets: World Men's Curling Championship Preview

Ottawa is set to crown the next world champion

March may be ending but the madness on ice continues.

With the dust not even collecting on the rocks in Sweden from the World Women's Curling Championship, we are already looking ahead to the World Men's Curling Championship.

We celebrated the accomplishment of Switzerland's Team Tirinzoni being able to achieve the #4peat in winning their 4th straight world championship.

And now our focus will be on the #5peat...as in Sweden's Team Edin looking to win their 5th straight world championship.

Tirinzoni's accomplishment was remarkable. Can Edin one up their Euro friends and create #HIStory?

If the #STOH2023, #Brier2023 and #WWCC2023 results taught us anything it is the blog motto of "the more things change, the more they stay the same" could live on once again in Ottawa.

Welcome to the World Men's Curling Championship Preview post.

 #BetweenTheSheets: Hej, Hej Sverige

Sandviken, Sweden is ready to say "Välkommen" to the world

March Madness on ice continues.

We kickstarted the month of March with the Tim Horton's Brier in London, Ontario.

With that event less than a week in our rearview mirror, we are already looking ahead to the next big event.

And this one is on global ice as we prepare to crown a new world women's champion.

13 of the best teams in the world will make their way to Göransson Arena in Sandviken, Sweden to chase world championship glory.

The NCAA #MarchMadness tournament announced their men's and women's brackets last weekend and play hit the hardcourts this week. And we already have seen massive #TeamUpset / #BracketBuster results.

Could we see similar in Sweden?

Well if you have March Madness fever, do not forget to cool yourself down on the ice as curling brings its own flavour of March Madness into your house this weekend.

In fine #TwineTime tradition, welcome to the World Women's Curling Championship Preview post.

#Brier2023 Parting Rocks

 #BetweenTheSheets: Brier 2023 Parting Rocks

Saying goodbye to a #HIStoric Brier in London

See the #STOH2023 Parting Rocks blog post? 

"The more things change, the more they stay the same?"

The Brier competition was fierce. New look teams emerged as front runners.

A young sheriff brought his crew to London looking to regain order of the past and put Manitoba back atop the Canadian curling world.

And a handful of young players emerged, breathing new life into the sport and making many excited for the future.

But the end result remains the same.

As we saw in Kamloops with the Scotties, Team Canada once again emerged atop the podium when the last rock stopped spinning.

We saw change. We saw a glimpse into the future. But we also saw the present is not passing the torch quite yet.

Welcome to the 2023 Tim Hortons Brier Parting Rocks blog post.
