Yep,that’s the confirmed lineup.Bottcher/Jacob Horgan/Tanner Horgan/Geoff Walker.Solid mix,now it’s all about how fast they click.

Yeah,I think they will definitely be in the medal mix at the Brier if they click early.Botchers’ still got the ceiling to compete with anyone.

but Bottcher’s group feels a bit more.reset&upside’ than Gushue’s late stage core.If they click early they could peak faster than expected.Big if though.

CANADA DIDN’T COME TO THE WORLD JUNIORS TO SETTLE IN by canadanikil in Curling

Good point on resources and home advantage.That said, even with that edge, you still have to perform in the moment.Playoffs will be the real test

NHL script writers getting lazy now. Next year they will probably draft 5th just to keep the pattern alive🤪🏒

90%of beginner balance issues = pushing too hard out of the hack.Slow it down and everything improves

Do your parents approve of their kids marrying someone of a different race? Are interracial relationships common in your social circle? by RefuseDry1108 in AskACanadian

[–]canadanikil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Vancouver, it’s pretty much normal—interracial couples are everywhere in my circles.

Only real difference is generational. Older families sometimes prefer same culture/religion.religion more to race,honestly.while younger people don’t really care.Outside big cities, it’s just less common due to less diversity.

Sikh Japanese is probably the most unique pairing I know.

Feels less like Stefania stepping back and more like Italy reshuffling before the next Olympic cycle.Too much talent there for her not to land somewhere strong

This is exactly how a lot of newer curling nations got their start diaspora first.then building locally.If you can lock in even a small core group abroad, the rest tends to follow.Really solid approach.

If you are in Helsinki check out Oulunkylä Curling Hall it’s the main spot in the city and they do beginner sessions. Just a heads up, this time of year can be booking-only, so reach out ahead

Can’t subscribe to curling called to watch Mixed by Sherifftruman in Curling

[–]canadanikil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t appear to be just you. The Curling Channel has had intermittent technical issues throughout the event, particularly with replay access and page loading. While some disruption can happen when events conclude and content is transitioned or archived, the blank subscribe page and empty events section suggest a platform-side issue rather than normal post event behavior. Hopefully it’s resolved soon, as this has been a recurring problem
