  • Goldline Curling English Version
    2017 VANIER COLLEGE BDC GOLDLINE CURLING ENGLISH VERSION SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2017 CHRISTOPHER A. ROSS JOHN MOLSON SCHOOL OF BUSINESS CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY ©2016 Christopher A. Ross P a g e | 1 GOLDLINE CURLING INTRODUCTION September 12th, 2016 was an important day for Mr. Doug Flowers, President, Goldline Curling (GC), Toronto, Canada. After approximately two and half years of development, he had taken delivery of 48 samples of a new and modern curling brush1, the AIR, replacing an old model that GC had been marketing for the past twenty years. GC finally had a new product that could be used by elite players in various curling tournaments. This new product was GC’s response to the 2011 introduction by Hardline Curling (Hardline) of a competitive “revolutionary” curling brush. The fabric covering the head of this brush had significantly altered the nature of the game. In 2014, GC began taking the competitive threat seriously but after much controversy in the curling world regarding the “revolutionary” curling brush, Flowers was wondering whether he was on the right track with his competitive response, and if he was, what strategy should he use to launch the AIR in the Canadian and global markets. Launching the new product was an extremely important decision for Flowers since brushes contributed 25% to GC’s annual revenue. THE GAME OF CURLING2 The game of Curling was played on ice. Players used three major pieces of equipment: a brush, a granite rock and special shoes when throwing the rock and sweeping the ice. The brush had three parts: the shaft, which ideally should be very light, the plastic head, and the foam pad that fit into the head and was covered with fabric.

  • Olds to Host 2022 Humpty's Champions
    For Immediate Release Olds to Host 2022 Humpty’s Champions Cup December 3, 2020 - The Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling will host the 2022 Humpty’s Champions Cup in Olds, Alta. On Thursday, December 3, Sportsnet announced a partnership with Curling Canada to explore the option to host both the Players’ Championship and Champions Cup Grand Slam events within a hub city at WinSport’s Canada Olympic Park in Calgary in 2021. This approach gives qualified elite curlers the opportunity to continue their season within a safe and secure environment. Olds was scheduled to hold the season-ending Champion’s Cup event in 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was postponed to 2021 and now Olds is re-scheduled to host in 2022 — featuring 12 men’s teams and 12 women’s teams who have won high-profile titles. Pending all updated contractual agreements, the 2022 Humpty’s Champions Cup will take place May 4- 8, 2022 at the Olds Sportsplex. There are questions around ticket purchase and refunds following the cancellation of Humpty’s Champions Cup in Olds. With the postponement until 2022, the Host Committee has decided to automatically refund all tickets. Refunds will start within the next few weeks and will automatically be returned on the credit card used to purchase the tickets. We ask for your patience with this process. If you have updates or questions after January 4, please email [email protected]. The Host Committee will be in touch with all sponsors to discuss options moving forward. Sincerely, 2022 Humpty’s Champions Cup Organizing Committee [email protected] For direct committee inquiries or interview requests, please contact Tammy Schwass, 403-835-6467 The Grand Slam Release: https://thegrandslamofcurling.com/gsoc-looking-to-hold-2-events-in- proposed-calgary-curling-bubble/ .
