Curling on TV: Revamped 2013 Skins

If you're suffering from Continental Cup hangover, don't fret - there's more curling on tv this weekend! It's time for " The Dominion All-Star Curling Skins Game ". Quite a mouthful. It will run Saturday Jan. 19 to Sunday Jan. 20 at Casino Rama in Ontario. What's different this year is the way the teams were selected - the public voted on individual players for each position. Here's who you voted for: Skips: Kevin Martin, Kevin Koe, Jeff Stoughton, Glenn Howard Thirds: John Morris, Pat Simmons, Jon Mead, B.J. Neufeld Seconds: March Kennedy, Carter Ryroft, Reid Carruthers, Brent Laing Leads: Ben Hebert, Nolan Thiessen, Steve Gould, Craig Savill Besides B.J. Neufeld at third (Wayne Middaugh had to withdraw) and Steve Gould at lead (yeah that wont be awkward) it's the usual suspects. So really, what was the point of the vote? What will make it exciting is that the skips will draw names to form a team - which could make for some awesome good fun. Hopef...

Curling on TV: 2013 Continental Cup of Curling

The 2013 Continental Cup of Curling starts this week! It's taking place in Penticton, BC, from January 10-13. It's a super fun event - North America vs The World - and they'll play the men's, women's, skins, mixed doubles and singles (hot shots). I was fortunate to attend in 2011 so can vouch that it's fun to watch. Since the competition is a bit different and the teams are part of bigger teams it's a good time all around. There's more rules and info on wikipedia . Teams : North America: Nedohin, Jones, Pottinger, Howard, Martin, McCormick Captain: Kelley Law Coach: Rick Lang World: Ott, Muirhead, Sigfridsson, Brewster, Ulsrud, Edin Captain: David Hay Coach: Peja Lindholm It'll all be on TSN (or TSN mobile if you're on Bell or Virgin Mobile). All times below are Eastern. Thursday Jan. 10 11:30am - Women's Team 4:00pm - Mixed Doubles 9:30pm - Men's Teams Friday Jan. 11 11:30am - Women's Team 4:00pm - Singles 9:30pm - Men's Teams...

Curling on TV: The Canadian Open

Time for another Grand Slam curling event - on tv of course. The Canadian Open  ( also here ) will run from Dec 12-16 in Kelowna, BC. Teams include: Cotter, de Cruz, Epping, Fowler, Gushue, Higgs, Howard, Jacobs, Kean, Koe, Laycock, Lyburn, Martin, McEwen, Menard, Pierce, Rumfeldt, and Stoughton. Broadcast Schedule is here - looks like it's all on Sportsnet (no CBC this time?)! There's 2 games on Thursday - Saturday and the final goes Sunday. Big story all ready is that Martin wont be there because he's having hernia surgery. Should that excuse his performance at the Canada Cup? Yes. But...no comment. Also, I can't find an event specific website (and I even used all my fancy librarian skills). The Masters had a website, but there appears to be no "grand slam" website like their used to be. Fortunately Sportsnet  (slick looking site!) and the World Curling Tour will have all the info you need. And I can't find a title sponsor, but other sponsors are here...

Oh October. Curling season. Must mean good times ahead!! Though I get on the ice this week, the pros have been curling in bonspiels most weekends in September.  TV events will be starting in a November, but in the meantime Laola1.tv , Curlingkanalen , CurlingZone and 12th End Sports Network have been streaming games online. Have you been watching? Did you notice some new faces? New line ups? Time for a look at what happened during the summer - the annual curling team shake-up! Men : Team Ferbey: Randy Ferbey has retired . Scott Pfeifer has teamed up with Blake MacDonald, Jamie King and Jeff Erickson to play a few spiels 'non-competitively' - wonder if that will change since they won The Shoot Out in Edmonton a few weeks ago? Team Appelman: now consists of Ted and Tom Appelman, Brendan Melnyk, and Brent Bawel. Team Stoughton: Steve Gould got "fired" , and Mark Nichols will join the team . Team Nedohin: Dave Nedohin is now curling with Colin Hodgson, Tom Sallows and...
