Smorgasbord for episode 6 of season 9

Lori and Mary are back with episode 6 of season 9 and a smorgasbord of curling talk.

First up is a recent catch-up chat with Lori running into some Newfoundland curling stars in Ontario, and Mary revealing the new Super Team she is a member of. She’s more than a member, actually; she’s throwing skip stones!

Event discussion then takes place with the weekend’s European Championships and the Canadian Curling Club Championships, followed by fresh news that a new USA vs Canada “North American” championship has been created for recreational curlers!

Next up are discussions over the Olympic road through Nova Scotia, and the reveal that competitors did in fact approach Sportsnet about not being consulted on Grand Slam format changes. Turns out the players weren’t happy, and changes have just been announced.

What’s left? Various fun and silliness over the Beckham Dance (The Girls want to recruit Jennifer Jones and Brent Laing), and the Curling Legends YouTube upload of an old 1997 STOH match featuring our “Baby Girls”!

As usual, colourful images have been added to the media player file to enhance your podcast experience.

Enjoy the episode and stay safe!
