    CHAMPIONS & GRAND AGGREGATE WINNERS Annual Bonspiel of the Manitoba Branch of the Royal CalCaleeeedoniandonian Curling Club 1889 ––– 1907 MCA ANNUAL BONSPIEL 1908 ––– 2013 MANITOBA OPEN BONSPIEL 2014 ––– present CurlManitoba – Bonspiel Champions & Aggregate Winners Since 1889 ( December 1, 2020 ) Page 1 Manitoba’s 150 th anniversary celebration provides motivation for review of history in many areas, including Manitoba proud curling heritage. This document accumulates together, for the first time, an acknowledgement of all of the Manitoba Curling Association’s annual bonspiel “champions”. The project was initiated by Les Ferris of Holland, inspired by local history which tells the story of Holland’s Hector McLean team returning home to a brass-band reception after winning the MCA’s annual bonspiel in 1900. Ferris’ first research was possible thanks to a set of early MCA annual publications, originally collected by Stan Oleson and Ab Gowanlock. The research effort of MCA ‘historians’ Rick Mutton and Heather Helston is acknowledged and appreciated as an additional foundation of this document. The support of Heidi Rees, Reference Services, Manitoba Legislative Library is also much appreciated. Reference has been made to archive copies of the annual bonspiel programmes (which evolved into the association’s annual publication). Archive copies of the Winnipeg Free Press, Manitoba Morning Free Press, and Winnipeg Tribune have provided key insights into the bonspiels of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. In addition, reference has also been made to the Morris Mott/John Allardyce book Curling Capital: Winnipeg and the Roarin’ Game, 1876 to 1988 and to the archives of thecurler.com. The documented was drafted by Resby Coutts on behalf of CurlManitoba and the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame & Museum.

    2018 Olympic Gold Medal Curling Team 2018 Gold Medal USA Olympic Curling Team Team Shuster Joe Polo, John Landsteiner, Matt Hamilton, Tyler George, John Shuster Team Shuster’s Road To Gold John Shuster is the kind of guy everyone wants to see succeed but his road to success has not been without a few bumps along the way. After a disappointing ninth place finish in Sochi, USA Curling held a combine for the country’s best curlers, meant to identify 10 athletes who would be asked to be on the high performance team. When the team was announced, Shuster’s name wasn’t on the list. The three-time Olympian was crushed. Jilted by the governing body, denounced by fans during the Sochi Games, Shuster was at a common crossroads in sports and in life: accept defeat and find something else to do or work even harder and earn his spot back on the team. He did what great competitors do. He reached down deep and put together a team of his peers that were also cast aside and got back to work at the rink. “People coined us Team Rejects,” he told the West Fargo Pioneer. Soon enough, the rejects started to win. First, they won the 2015 national championship, defeating all those who had made the USA Curling Team. Team Shuster went on to finish fifth at the world championships later that year. After Team Shuster’s success, USA Curling saw the promise and brought all four members of Team Shuster back into the fold. The results kept on coming for Team Shuster: a bronze medal at the 2016 World Championships, the U.S.

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2018 Remarks Honoring the 2018 United States Olympic and Paralympic Teams April 27, 2018 The President. Well, thank you very much. This is a very proud day, and I'm thrilled to stand here and welcome Team U.S.A. to the White House. Great job. Thank you very much. What a job. So, 2 months ago, America sent each of you to the Winter Olympics to represent the Red, White, and Blue. And you did an awfully good job of doing it, I will tell you. I think she's more famous than I am. [Laughter] Great job. You performed and you made us very proud. And many of you came home as champions wearing a bronze, silver, or a gold medal. And you had very big crowds. And I have to say, without certain backing, those crowds were not looking good. But all of a sudden, those crowds got very, very big, very powerful, and it became a very, very successful Olympics aside from everything else. They had a lot more people show up than they thought. And you think you know why, right? But a lot of good things are happening right now over there, literally as we speak. And the Olympics really helped to bring it all together. It was a big help. So just in that respect, it was something very terrific. Through sheer drive and dedication and commitment, you've risen to the top of your fields and the highest levels of your sports. You overcame setbacks, you powered through obstacles, and you never, ever quit.

NW Briefs | Second-place jump for UW's Frederick FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Washington senior Norris Frederick earned his sixth career All-American honor with a career-best second-place finish in the men's long jump Friday on Day 1 of the NCAA indoor track and field championships. Frederick's second attempt of 26 feet, 2 ¾ inches was the second-best of his career. Cal State Northridge's Reindell Cole turned in a 26-7 ¾ to win the event. Washington State freshman Ebba Jungmark won the women's high jump with a clearance of 6-2 ¼. It was the second-best women's high jump in WSU history. Softball Ashlyn Watson hit a two-run home run and Alicia Blake went 3 for 3 to lead No. 20 Washington (17-6-1) past Northern Illinois 4-1 in the Cascade Clash in Portland. The game, which was delayed by an hour due to rain, was stopped after five innings due to poor field conditions. • Erin Martin (9-0) sat down all 15 batters she faced, and Seattle University pounded out 10 hits in the first three innings to cruise to a 12-0 victory over Northwest Nazarene in Nampa, Idaho.
