Team Brad Jacobs, Olympic Champions Team Brad Jacobs, Olympic Champions Sport : Men’s Curling Targeting: Pyeongchang 2018 Site: TeamBradJacobs.com Curling Club: Soo Curlers Travel from: Sault Ste. Marie, ON Languages: English/French Athletic Highlights: • 2014 Olympic Gold Medalists • 2015 The Player’s Championship Gold Medalists • 2015 Tim Hortons Brier Silver Medalists • 2013 Tim Hortons Brier Champions Background: Team Brad Jacobs entered the 2014 Sochi Olympics thinking about playing their way into a place in curling history but it’s the future of the sport in Canada that continues to keep them motivated. After a dominant win over Great Britain to win Olympic gold, Team Jacobs’ second, E.J. Harnden, took a moment to consider his team’s potential: “We’re not ever going to stop, we’re not ever going to hold back and just rest on the success that we have.” Formed in 2012, the young team – including Ryan Harnden (lead), E.J. Harnden (second), Ryan Fry (third) and skip Brad Jacobs – looks like they’ll be able to back up that promise through a commitment to each other, and to fitness. As Brier Champions in 2013, Olympic gold medalists in Sochi 2014 and the Player’s Champions in 2015, Team Jacobs have enjoyed immediate success and have focused their attention on capturing a World Championship title and a return to the Olympics in Pyeongchang 2018. The Team's Olympic experience and its grueling schedule also confirmed the importance of training to stay on top of the demands of a longer competition season. Often called the “fitness freaks” of curling, the Team take pride in representing a distinctly different image from many of the curlers of years past. "The awareness is increasing and the perception of the sport is changing with the injection of new young talent that no longer consider themselves curlers but rather athletes first,” said E.J. Harnden. "And our team is fully committed to leading that change.” Canadians have always loved curling but a new generation of more athletic teams has begun to establish dominance and reach new fans. Team Jacobs have seen the rise in curling’s popularity since Sochi 2014 with the expansion of the Grand Slam of Curling on Rogers Sportsnet from four to seven events in 2015-16 and eight beginning events in 2016-17. Combined with the substantial televised audiences on TSN’s broadcast of the Season of Champions events – including The Continental Cup and The Canada Cup, The Brier and the World Championships – the sport continues to grow.

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.

We fade up into a royal blue screen with a glittering silver Fox Sports logo in the center of it. A fanfare plays in the background as a voiceover begins.] “Home to the World Series. The GFC. The Daytona 500. The 2015 Women’s World Cup. The US Open Championship.” [A quick clip from each sport flashes by during the voiceover.] “The world’s biggest events are on Fox Sports.” [The logo and fanfare fade... ...as a giant robot appears, holding up a different version of the Fox Sports logo with the audio bug...] “WE ARE... FOX SPORTS!” [The shot fades from the graphic to another black screen with the AWA logo splashed across a starry field.
