"It's hard to imagine my life without curling. I've met so many great people. I have traveled to many small towns and large cities in North America and Europe. Not many people have that opportunity while playing a sport they love".
"Curling has allowed me the opportunity to travel across Canada and into Europe to compete in world class events and meet a lot of great people."
"Curling has enabled me to meet some great people across Canada and the World. It has enabled me to realize my full potential as competitor. It has given me enough extra cash so my family can afford some of the "extras" in life. I am no longer anonymous. I am somewhat recognizable now! Is this good or bad, who knows, but it is a change!"
