RCD presents 2012 Canadian Open - Nov. 7-10, 2012
From November 7 to 10, 2012 the RCD will be hosting its 6th Annual International Wheelchair Bonspiel - 2012 Canadian Open Tournament; it is doubly exciting this year because we have a new title to the event – Canadian Open International Wheelchair Bonspiel.
This new title exhibits the determination of RCD to make this event nationally and internationally acclaimed. We hope to attract quality competitors worldwide and bring the global stage to Richmond.
Wheelchair curling tournaments have been staged at the Paralympic Games since the Winter Paralympic Games in 2006 in Turin. So far, Canada has been the most successful team in the Paralympics, winning twice of the gold medals.
In 2011, the RCD International Bonspiel saw the keen competition of 8 teams, we hope to have the participation of more teams, with high caliber athletes and increased international presence.

All I can say is what a complete joke!
They pull Gerry austgarden out of retirement but not Chris DAW.
WOW!
Who kissed who's ass on that one. Not only does he come out of retirement but makes top 8 over Daw, Soby, and others.
How can you tell me Joe is not playing favourites!
WOW! a JOKE!
Gerry pulled himself out of retirement,paid his own way to a camp and poof he is selected. It's a matter of will power and politcs. But wait a minute didn't he quit because of Jim and all the bull crap - I guess time heals all.
So by what your saying is ANYONE can just pay their way back into the program!
Bully up to the bar boys the doors are open! NOT!
Gerry had to be invited and we all know who invited him! Will power my ass, politics YES; will power no.
Hey; by this logic I am guessing Daw will be back soon as he has money. He has been very sucessful as of late. He now owns a Hockey facility in Oakville, Ontario.
Nice place I hear! some 80,000 sq feet worth some big bucks!
So he can buy his way back right!
Chris pull out your wallet; your back!
The current suggestion that I write on my own blog is crazy to put it nicely.
I am way to busy and to busy to the point of I am not able to keep up with the flow of information and publish it on time.
Thanks for the kind thoughts I have the time to write but if I did I am not sure alot of people would like what I have to write.
SO let's really look at teh talent pool.
Included are three of the four starting line-up of two world championships and one Paralympic Gold.
That seems like three automatics for 2013, and likely 2014.
It is obvious that the Program is looking BEYOND 2014, and starting to bring along a younger group, including the likes of Ideson and Munroe. Thus, they are and should be included. What sense is there in bringing along any more athletes in their fifties and sixties? Canada is solid for the next couple of years, and they are now looking further out.
So quiot the belly-aching, and congratulate the Program for now seeing beyond their nose.
I find ihe site very usefull when looking for results nationally and world news primarily.
I take exception with the coment on age that was posted.
This is not a "age"limited sport -
4 of the five gold medalist @ the 2010 were "older" & wiser ok! Jim, Darryl, Bruno all over fifty and in speaking with Ina recently she is now fifty - which I am about to turn. Who thinks they are skilled enough physically and mentally to take their spots?? NOT LIKELY KIDS!!
