At the 2010 Olympics, my husband and I were fortunate enough to get tickets to four curling games. We spent our time outside of the athletes entrance to the venue. We were able to watch the curling teams come and go! Team Ulsrud really stood out with their curling pants and blazers! I started asking teams entering and exiting the venue for their autographs. I was able to get the Canadian Team except Ben Hubert and Cheryl Benard. I was disappointed that I couldn’t get all of them at the Olympic. But fast forward several years – I was able to get Ben Hebert autograph at a Grand Slam here in Sault Ste. Marie. When I asked his to sign my Olympic ticket his comment was ” wow, this brings back memories!” I was also able to get Cheryl Benard’s autograph just this past December when she was at Community First Curling Center for the Everest Senior’s Championship. It only took me 11 years but my Canadian teams are complete!
