The day started with the arrival of the coveted Scott Tournament THE PROS of Hearts (STOH) Trophy, delivered in person by glove-clad Peter Inch, 2006 STOH President, and Jim Waite, 2006 STOH Director of Officials, Stats and Timers and CCA National Curling Coach. A morning Media Conference was held to bring local media up to date about the progress of the STOH and to introduce Team Canada … Jennifer Jones, Cathy Overton-Clapham, Jill Officer and Georgina Wheatcroft (photo, from right to left). Reporters and photographers from the London area viewed a promotional video about the Scott Tournament of Hearts (taking place in London from February 25 to March 5 at the JLC), took photos of Canada’s “Number One” curling team, and participated in a question-and-answer session with Peter Inch and Jennifer Jones and the members of her team. As well, the media and several LCC members had the opportunity to meet and greet the 2005 STOH second-place skip Jenn Hanna, whose spectacular performance in the final game of the 2005 women’s final has made her a fan favourite. (Marg Sirna and Jean Walmsley share their “pro” experiences on pages 5 and 6 of this issue).
