There's been an outpouring of sympathy in the curling world to the Miller family after the recent death due to a brain tumour of Linda Miller. Her daughters, Stefanie Lawton and Marliese Kasner, are two of the top female curlers on the planet, and they continued to be so as the mom fought bravel

OK, it takes a lot for a Youtube video to make me laugh out loud. But this one, pointed out to me by curlingzone.com’s Gerry Geurts, truly did. I have no idea who produced it, except that apparently they’re from the Guelph, Ont., area.But anybody who read this blog nearly two years ago,

Let’s face facts, Kelly Scott’s options were fairly limited when it came to replacing Renee Simon at lead on her Kelowna women’s curling team.Most of the top players in the country were already in either the Olympic Trials or the pre-Trials, leaving a fairly thin talent pool.But yo

It’s been a good couple of weeks for Glenn Howard and his team. The boys took home $22,000 for winning the Brooks Cactus Pheasant for the second straight year, knocking off Kevin Martin in the final. This has become – in a very short time – one of the most popular stops on the Asham World Curling To

I’m writing a column on whether or not the success of the Grand Slam event last week at the Hershey Centre means Toronto could host a Tim Hortons Brier. Plus side: great arena and facility (patch attached!) at the Ricoh Centre, media centre of Canada so lots of attention, 23 curling clubs in TCA, mo

Here is a link to todays Globe column. Its on the fitness levels of the curlers. Ive been impressed with how hard the curlers are working at this and of course Dean Gemmells book with John Morris, Fit To Curl, is proof that this isnt just a flash in the pan. I sort of liken it to when Tiger Woo
