LONDON, Ont. — Brad Gushue’s team is back at the Tim Hortons Brier as defending champions. They’ll have to change their residency situation or roster makeup…
Gushue and vice Mark Nichols live in St. John’s, but newcomer E.J. Harnden lives in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and lead Geoff Walker is an Edmonton resident.
“In the case of Team Canada, they are no longer competing for their province/territory or entering said playdowns,” the document said. “This ‘grey area’ in our policy has been highlighted that these teams are no longer nominated by their province or territory after playdowns but have earned the right to play as Team Canada in our national championship.”Article content
“But from a Team Canada perspective, we clarified that it had to be three of four from the team that won the year before.” “But residency matters and the provincial and territorial playdowns and championships matter as well. We’re always trying to see if there’s a better way to find that hybrid.” “Our national championships are special for a reason,” said Thiessen, the organization’s executive director of marketing and fan experience. “They’re also a financial driver for Curling Canada. There’s a goal and there’s tradition there that matters for everybody and it matters to us.”
