News Release News Release City of Penticton begins countdown to Scotties Less than 30 days to go to Canadian Women’s Curling Championship FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dec. 28, 2017 Penticton – The City of Penticton has started the countdown for the 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts taking place Jan. 27-Feb. 4 at the South Okanagan Events Centre. 2018 is the first time Penticton has played host to the Canadian Women’s Curling Championship. The venue seats approximately 5,000 and record crowds are expected for the nine-day tournament. More than 300 community members have already volunteered for the event. The field will feature provincial/territorial champions of Curling Canada’s Member Associations, along with Team Canada, represented by Michelle Englot’s Winnipeg team of vice-skip Kate Cameron, second Leslie Wilson and lead Raunora Westcott. “The Scotties Tournament of Hearts is an opportunity to watch some of the top women curlers from across the country,” says Mayor Andrew Jakubeit. “When you combine the world-class curling with Penticton’s hospitality, it is sure to be a great event and break from the winter doldrums.” Curling fans travelling to Penticton can discover details of local hotels, craft breweries, wineries, boutique shops and winter adventures at visitpenticton.com/sports-events. “We’re excited for visitors to see that Penticton is just as much fun to visit in the winter as it is in the summer,” says Jakubeit. “There is lots to do in in the city when you are not cheering on your favourite team.” The 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Penticton marks the 37th consecutive year of Kruger Products sponsorship of the Canadian Women’s Curling Championship.

  • 150 Notable Manitoba Curling Teams
    150 NOTABLE MANITOBA CURLING TEAMS In honour of Manitoba’s 150 th Anniversary, the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame and Museum has undertaken to identify 150 teams which played a significant role in creating (in the early years) and extending (in more recent times) Manitoba’s reputation for competitive excellence in the world of curling. Our list acknowledges teams from all competitive sectors from the high-profile junior and men’s and women’s teams to less well-known teams at the mixed, senior, and masters levels and even outside the association realm in the deaf, police and postal championship realms. All of these successful teams played roles in establishing Manitoba’s well-deserved reputation. We also acknowledge recent successes in the new discipline of Mixed Doubles but this historical perspective is focussed on the traditional four-person game. INVITATION TO THE PUBLIC TO ADD TO THE LIST: A total of 150 teams were identified initially. Subsequently two missed teams have been added so the list now includes 152 teams. There are many other teams across Manitoba’s curling history which also belong on a listing of this nature. Manitoba curling fans are invited to suggest other teams for inclusion. In most cases, the teams are included on this list on the basis of the team’s on-ice success in a single outstanding year OR across a series of years. In the latter case, we have acknowledged that so long as three people remained on a team from a previous recorded success – then it was still the same team.
