    Curling Club Thun Regio Curling Schweizermeisterschaften 9. bis 17. Februar 2019 in der Curlinghalle Grabengut in Thun Thun, 11. Februar 2019 | Ueli Hirt, Medienverantwortlicher Bericht zum dritten Spieltag (Montag, 11. Februar 2019) Favoriten setzen sich durch Bei den Curling Schweizermeisterschaften forderten sich die beiden Spitzenteams Genf und Bern Zähringer alles ab. In einem spannenden und hochstehenden Spiel setzten sich die Genfer mit 9:5 durch. Nach drei Spielen führt Genf gemeinsam mit Bern, Skip Marc Pfister die Tabelle ungeschlagen an. Das Team Adelboden musste im dritten Spiel die dritte Niederlage hinnehmen. Hochspannung herrschte auch bei den Damen. Zwei Spiele wurden erst im Zusatzend entschieden. Der letzte Stein von Skip Irene Schori von Limmattal Pleion zählte gegen das bisher ungeschlagene Uzwil nach dem Messen gerade noch. Jener von Briar Hürlimann, Team Oberwallis jedoch geriet um Handbreite zu kurz. So ging das Spiel gegen das favorisierte Aarau mit Silvana Tirinzoni 10:11 verloren. Erstaunlich: In jedem End nutzten beide Teams ihren letzten Stein zu je einem Zweier. Langenthal mit der zweifachen Weltmeisterin Binia Feltscher-Beeli siegte über das bisher sieglose Schaffhausen Vitodata 8:5, dank drei gestohlenen Steinen im siebten und achten End. Im Luzerner Derby setzte sich das Team mit Skip Jana Stritt gegen jenes mit Skip Corrie Hürlimann 9:7 durch.

  • Thank You & Campaign Results
    THANK YOU & CAMPAIGN RESULTS HHTH.COM | #STAYTHEPUCKHOME ABOUT THE STAY THE PUCK HOME CAMPAIGN FROM HOCKEY HELPS THE HOMELESS & BARDOWN HOCKEY Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHTH) was forced to put their pro- am tournament season on hold, which bring in much-needed dollars to homeless support agencies and shelters across Canada. However, just because the pandemic put the rest of the world on pause, the need for support and funding for homeless and at-risk Canadians did not stop. In fact, it is only growing. For homeless and at-risk Canadians, the realities of the novel coronavirus are much different. They are at a much higher risk of contracting infections, chronic illnesses or compromised immune systems, making them extremely vulnerable to the virus and many lack the access to the supplies and infrastructure needed to maintain their health. Shelters and front-line workers working through the pandemic are in desperate need of funds since COVID-19 has put a tight strain on their budget and resources. They face an increase in demand from their clients, and a decrease in charitable giving from sponsors and their donors. Even though we are currently unable to host tournaments, everyone at HHTH still wanted to find a way to help. In order to do so, we teamed up with Bardown Hockey to create an exclusive, limited edition clothing line called “Stay The Puck Home” to support Canada’s homeless. 100% of net proceeds from the sale of the $25 t-shirts and $50 hoodies went to our charity partners from coast-to-coast.

  • Hockey Night in Canada French Notes
    Hockey Night in Canada French notes – because the French version of HNIC is different than the English version in the French translation, note that these questions are about the English version. Then in the French version we will add 2 questions – we will duplicate Qs 6&7 asking if they notice and difference/like the changes from the old French Version to the new. 1. Thinking about Canadian culture and identity, how important is the game of hockey? Hockey defines Canadian culture Hockey is an important part of Canadian culture – and so are other things Hockey isn’t really a big factor in Canadian culture Hockey is just a game and has nothing to do with Canadian culture 2. Now thinking specifically about NHL hockey, how important is it to Canadian culture and identity? Very Important Important Not very important Totally unimportant 3. How important is NHL hockey to you? I’m a diehard fan I’m a fan A lot of other interests come before hockey I don’t care about hockey at all 4. Since the 2014 season began last month, how many NHL games have you watched on TV? More than four 2 or 3 One None 5. As you may know, Rogers Sportsnet now owns the rights to Hockey Night in Canada (HNIC) broadcast, along with most hockey media rights to games across the country, in a 12-year, $5.2 billion deal with the NHL. The rights to Hockey Night in Canada were previously owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). Last month, the first Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts aired on Rogers, and were simulcast on CBC.

You read that right. If you wonder what it takes to become a provincial cham- pion, look no further than this group, which has taken home back-to-back high school pro- vincial titles in varsity girls’ 15s rugby. They also captured the Westman High School Rugby sevens crown with a 15-1 re- cord, playing as the Rivers Rams. The team was simply domi- nant all year and went unde- feated through the 15s season, beating the Dauphin Clippers in both the Westman High School Rugby final and the provincial title game. The group, which featured players from Minnedosa, Riv- ers, Erickson and Elton, is The Brandon Sun’s 45th an- nual Mike Jones team of the year, the first rugby squad to take home the award.
