Hi everyone, sorry for the last day or so but I and my family got hit with the nasty flu bug going around and I was unable to update the site.
As we stated the other day; The Wheechair Curling Blog along with the Host committee and the CCA will be providing enhanced coverage of the 2012 Canadian National Championship in Thunder Bay in just 11 days times. We will provide live scores, blog coverage and a few photos. Along with this coverage live webstreaming of selcted games will be occuring. The boradcast team for the Wheelchair curling blog 2 will be Trevor Kerr, former team equipment manager for Team Canada and myself. SO to answer the emails and comment questions; Yes I will be attending the nationals this year.
In order to answer a few emails and questions surrounding who will be playing on what team this year we popped on over to the CCA's championship website at 2012 Nationals and had a look at the registered teams today.
A few surprise hit us and we have provided a bit of a break down, along with a photo below. What are the surprises? Well the highlights go like this;
* New Northern Ontario Team - Carl Levesque and the gruop make it to the big show for the first time, defeating Wayne Ficek, after Ficek loses Mark Wherrett to Manitoba.

We received many emails and comments regarding Sonja and her attendance at nationals and to answer those questions this is the best we can do. WE DON'T KNOW. Sonja was a member of the winning team and thus has right to attend however based on the website and the registration it now seems she will not be attending. We will all have to wait and see.
Nanaimo Curling Centre Skip: Darryl Neighbour Third: Gerry Austgarden Second: Ellis Tull Lead: Corinne Jensen Alternate: Allison Duddy Coach: Karen Watson |
So there you have it folks, the 10. who will win and in what order, well let's hear your thoughts. Send in your thoughts and top 3 - winner will be selected from all correct entries to win either a $25 Timmy's gift card, $25 Visa gift card or Starbucks gift card - the one no one won from worlds.
Get those entires in!
