Today joining us In The House is Mike McEwen.
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

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.

What Are You Hearing, another team has made a decision
to play with three players, Team Koe, at least for
now. Might there be an advantage in today’s
game for a team to play with three and at the top
competitive level should it continue to be allowed
or should some changes be made.
