    What’s Happening Around the Curling World?

    This past weekend a major competition for men was held in Penticton in

    the way of the NuFloors Penticton Classic.

    There aren’t any foreign teams in the event

    but it did feature five of Canada’s best we

    will review. The Pan Continental Championship

    started last Sunday in Lacombe, Alberta and

    this is an important event because it qualifies

    a number of teams for the 2025 Women’s

    and Men’s World Championships….Canada is

    represented by Brad Gushue and Rachel

    Homan. Hot Rocks Topics. The Pan Continental

    Championship started a few days ago and in a couple of

    weeks the European Championship will start and in

    both cases teams are being qualified for the 2025

    World Men’s and Women’s Championship. In all

    probability the Pan Continental will qualify (six – we will

    explain) and the Europeans seven of the 13

    teams. But at the WC Congress in September a

    thought was put on the table…..is there a better way of

    doing this?

    So, today we have an email but

    we have also gone to our FB Group where someone

    asked about the Pan Continental being on television

    and it got 109 comments. Curling Moments to

    Remember - A look back into curling’s rich

    history. Each week either Kevin or Warren

    will relate back to an experience or observation to

    something that has happened in curling’s rich

    history. Today Kevin will bring us a great curling

    moment.

  • In the House today joining us is Matt Dunstone who just won the Fall Classic in Sault Ste. Marie.

    What’s Happening Around the Curling World? This past weekend a major cashspiel, the Fall Classic was held in Sault Ste. Marie and it featured some of the best teams in the world….we will review the results. The World Mixed Championship (four person mixed) concluded this past weekend in Aberdeen, Scotland and we will tell you about the final results. We received a letter from Phil Drobnick, USA National Team Director who brought to our attention a very unique event being held by USA Curling in the middle of November, We will share with you what Phil brought to our attention, The Pan Continental Championship will start on the 27th in Lacombe, Alberta. This is a pretty important event because it will determine five women’s teams and five men’s teams for the 2025 World Championships.

    Hot Rocks Topics, for sure curling isn’t getting any faster and more and more emphasis is being placed on all sports to shorten the time span. Does curling need to finally make another change at the top level to speed things up even more? We have a couple of emails to look at today actually one is in a response to the email we read on the show last week from Mike Roeke that we did not interpret correctly.

    Curling Moments to Remember. A look back into curling’s rich history. Each week either Kevin or Warren will relate back to an experience or observation to something that has happened in curling’s rich history. Today Warren will bring us a great curling moment.

  • In The House joining us is Brendan Bottcher. What’s Happening Around the Curling World? 

    The social media world is buzzing today about Brendan Bottcher joining the Brad Gushue Team but some of it is pretty nasty. A major women’s bonspiel happened this past week in Calgary, The Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Classic featuring some of the best female curlers in the world? The Stu Sells Toronto Tankard happened last week and a number of the better world women’s and men’s teams participated and we will give you the final results. The World Curling four-person championship started last weekend in Aberdeen, Scotland and we will take a look at what is happening in Aberdeen. Word came out this week about another curling club having to close it’s doors from financial pressures caused by an equipment malfunction. We have a very interesting email today that has its focus on the television commentary for video streaming……You don’t want to miss this one?

    comments this past weekend we will address

    the issue one more time

    Hot Rocks Topics, Curling needs an injection of

    something new and different could two person

    stick curling maybe be the answer to that

    question could two person stick become

    about how this take on curling could be a way to

    get people into a curling facility and not just

    older curlers who can no longer slide…?

    email and social media about the added

    broadcasts of the GSOC this past week on video

    coaches who were present….you will be surprised

    at what they had to say….

    The issue of 8 ends versus 10 wasn’t on the

    agenda...wasn’t even discussed…what would

    be the reason for that?

    Brendan Bottcher team and Brad will be with us to

    talk about the up coming season.

    getting emails and we will review one.
