I grew up watching Curling on TV and participated in a few leagues once I became an adult but was never “really” good at it but “oh, so loved the game!” I remember watching Sandra Schmirler, Glen Howard, Kevin Martin, etc. Then came along Brad Gushue! My, he made NL proud! I was able to attend my 1st “Grand Slam of Curling” in NL Nov 24 and when Brad and his team was playing the arena was electric! Everything about that time in St.John’s was magical! From the electricity in the arena, to the kitchen party, the appearances at the Conference Centre and the overall crowd enthusiasm. It was a time. I tried to explain my experiences to some of my friends but you really had to be there, to experience it all 1st hand! NL really knows how to welcome a crowd and I hope to revisit it all again for the Brier 2026!
