From The Hack bids farewell to 2023 with its annual holiday episode, which features four athletes of varying ages and experiences.

Laura Walker, the newest member and first-ever current athlete on Curling Canada’s Board of Governors, leads off with show host Frank Roch.

Up next is youthful Alyssa Nedohin, daughter of Hall of Famer David and a member of Edmonton’s sensational Team Plett, who captured silver at the recent World Junior B championships in Finland.

Frank’s third guest is a future junior sensation out of Timmins, Ont. Deanna Chilton has major aspirations and recently threw stones with none other than Brad Gushue.

Finally, one of FTH’s favourites returns to conclude the year. Marc Kennedy’s Team Bottcher has been tearing it up on the ice and in the recording studio, and Kennedy dishes on a variety of topics—including the challenges when facing Italy’s red-hot Team Retornaz.
