My wife discovered curling in 2009 when the Brier came to Calgary. I took her to see something she had never seen before in Japan. The skill, the technique and strategy intrigued her. She watched curling on TV for the next few years until I bought her a “Learn to Curl” lessons as a Christmas present. She was hooked from day one. She moved from there to a beginner’s league and eventually became a regular playing on two different teams while subbing on others. The past few years she has progressed to a Tier 1 team out of the Calgary Curling Club. She also particpates and volunteers with the Japanese Curling tournament each year. This year her team is in first place going into playoffs this season. Our TV recorder is nearly full with curling videos that she watches over and over again. She truly has a love of curling. She has been lucky enough to see curling in Calgary and meet some her curling idols such as Jennifer Jones, Brad Gushue or Rachel Homan. Going to watch a week of curling would be a dream come true for her.
