Six-time Canadian women's champion Colleen Jones and three-time Hearts winner Cathy Gauthier both have sons making their Brier debuts next month in London, Ont.
"It's a familiar territory and a familiar work ethic for them. I think that's what you're seeing whether it's the Middaughs, the Nedohins or the Galushas." "Curling was huge for Wayne and I, so to see both girls take it up, and then have success at it, is everything a parent could want and everything a competitive curler could want for their child."
