Trials go Dec. 30 to Jan. 4 in Nova Scotia
The Victoria Curling Club duo of Corey Chester and Taylor Reese-Hansen will have to go through some big names this month at the Canadian mixed-doubles qualifying tournament for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. But they are undeterred.
Chester is a two-time former B.C. junior men’s champion while Reese-Hansen has skipped rinks at the top echelon in B.C. women’s curling after guiding Camosun College teams to national medals. Mixed-doubles curling became a Winter Olympics sport at Pyeongchang in 2018 with John Morris and Kaitlyn Lawes winning gold for Canada before Morris and Homan missed the podium in 2022 at Beijing.
“We’ve built up a culture of excellence, and such a density of talent in our club the last five-six years, and we feed off each other’s successes,” said Chester.
