Growing up I lived in a small town, where curling wasn’t really available to kids. The local rink had a few sheets of ice and had a farmers league with a bonspiel.
I started watching curling on TV in 2008 and fell in love with the sport.
In 2011, my husband and I moved to a bigger city for work. We didnt know anyone there, but I decided to join a ladies league. One of the league committee members took me under her wing, found me a team to play with and even gave me a few one-on-one coaching sessions.
She is now one of my closest friends and our husband’s are like brothers.
So glad I joined the local curling club and learned how to play. Such a great experience and wonderful new friends.
In 2012, I volunteered at the men’s provincial playdowns and watched them fight for a spot at the Brier.
I watch every single draw when it is televised but would love to be at the Brier.
A true fan of the sport.
