Scotland’s David Murdoch was always in control against Sweden’s Niklas Edin and eventually, after blanking five ends, delivered a hack-weight tap-out of a Swedish counter to leave another of his stones lying shot for a 3-2 win. Later Switzerland’s Mirjam Ott edged out Norway’s Marianne Rørvik to start her campaign with a 6-4 win. Elsewhere in the men’s opening session, Germany’s Andy Kapp had an 8-5 win over Ulrik Schmidt’s Danish team, thanks largely to a score of three in the second end, while Thomas Dufour led France to a 6-5 win over Italy’s Stefano Ferronato. The other two games in the men’s opening round both went to extra ends, with Finland’s Toni Rantamäki taking the single needed to beat Jiri Snítel of the Czech Republic by 9-8, as did Thomas Ulsrud of Norway against Switzerland’s Ralph Stöckli for his 8-7 win. In the women’s games, Germany’s Andrea Schöpp took an early three against Sweden’s reigning Olympic champion Anette Norberg and held off the second-half Swedish pressure to win by 7-4.

    Newsletter of the London Curling Club November 2005 With much excitement and enthusiasm, London Curling Club LCC HOSTS opened its doors on Thursday, October 13 to Team Canada and a group of national and international curling celebrities. The day started with the arrival of the coveted Scott Tournament THE PROS of Hearts (STOH) Trophy, delivered in person by glove-clad Peter Inch, 2006 STOH President, and Jim Waite, 2006 STOH Director of Officials, Stats and Timers and CCA National Curling Coach. A morning Media Conference was held to bring local media up to date about the progress of the STOH and to introduce Team Canada … Jennifer Jones, Cathy Overton-Clapham, Jill Officer and Georgina Wheatcroft (photo, from right to left). Reporters and photographers from the London area viewed a promotional video about the Scott Tournament of Hearts (taking place in London from February 25 to March 5 at the JLC), took photos of Canada’s “Number One” curling team, and participated in a question-and-answer session with Peter Inch and Jennifer Jones and the members of her team. As well, the media and several LCC members had the opportunity to meet and greet the 2005 STOH second-place skip Jenn Hanna, whose spectacular performance in the final game of the 2005 women’s final has made her a fan favourite.

  • BACKGROUNDER the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts In
    BACKGROUNDER The 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Charlottetown, February 19 – 27, will mark the thirtieth anniversary of Kruger Products sponsorship of the Canadian Women’s Curling Championship. In 2012, the Scotties will return to Red Deer, Alberta. Following is a list of past host cities: Regina, Saskatchewan – 1982, 1998, 2008 Prince George, British Columbia – 1983, 2000 Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island – 1984, 1999, 2011 Winnipeg, Manitoba - 1985 London, Ontario – 1986, 2006 Lethbridge, Alberta – 1987, 2007 Fredericton, New Brunswick - 1988 Kelowna, British Columbia - 1989 Ottawa, Ontario - 1990 Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - 1991 Halifax, Nova Scotia - 1992 Brandon, Manitoba – 1993, 2002 Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario – 1994, 2003 Calgary, Alberta - 1995 Thunder Bay, Ontario - 1996 Vancouver, British Columbia – 1997 Sault Ste. Marie- 2010 Sudbury, Ontario – 2001 Red Deer, Alberta – 2004 St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador – 2005 Victoria, British Columbia - 2009 Kruger Products L.P., a division of Kruger Inc., is the leading manufacturer of Consumer and Away From Home paper products in Canada. The Kruger name is identified with leading bathroom tissue, paper towels, facial tissue and paper napkin brands in Canada. Canada long ago distinguished itself as the number one curling nation. It’s acknowledged throughout the world that nowhere is competition as keen and the path to the top so strewn with obstacles as in Canada. At the 1988 Winter Olympics held in Calgary, curling was a demonstration sport. The Canadian Women's team, skipped by Vancouver's Linda Moore, the 1985 World Champions, captured the gold medal. Julie Sutton's team from Victoria, the winner of the 1991 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, represented Canada at the 1992 Winter Olympics in France.
