Jim is still with his lead and second, Rick Sawatsky and Tyrel Griffith. He replaced John with Ryan Kuhn.

Note: These teams are actually really sad and I am sad that basically everyone broke-up. And next year, I won’t be able to function properly. So you are able to weep with me.

Warm Welcome to my - Tumblr - Blog!

Hello to everyone who may be reading this. You may or may not be a fan of Curling. But feel free to roam my blog, ask me questions, and submit your own photos and ideas on what to do with this blog. 

I'll just answer the obvious questions most of you may already have. 

Do you curl?

Yes. Since Grade 3. 

Do you want to make it to the Olympics or the Scotties?

Oh, you have no idea how much I would like that to happen. But it won't happen for a while. So for now, I just need to focus on perfecting the basic skills in Curling. 

Which turn do you prefer?

In because I'm right-handed and I'm usually never inside or outside on my shot. 

Do you prefer a guard, draw, or take-out?

I'm usually light and therefore, I prefer to do guards. I would like to do take-outs but my brother makes me do the craziest freaking take-out possible. 

What province do you cheer for in national events?

Of course, my native province, Saskatchewan. But it'll most likely be any other province/territory who wins the national events. 

How many curlers that have made it to the national level have you met?

I've meet Amber Holland and her team (the same team that won the 2011 Scotties), Kaitlyn Lawes in February when she was at the Saskatchewan Tankard... sadly, that's it. 

There are some typical Curling questions. If you have anymore, don't be afraid to ask me them. And this blog should start going into full speed as the new year rolls around. 

Cheers to another great year of Curling!
