My old friend Jason Hickman beat me to commenting on the Canadian Olympic Curling trials. Congratulations to Team Brad Gushue! It is a proud moment for the province of Newfoundland. I watched the game Sunday, and it was great. These guys deserve it. I am so glad for Russ Howard, who has always been my favourite curler. Russ was brought on to the Gushue rink to play second for the trials, although he calls the game. The Olympics are pretty much the only thing Russ had left to accomplish in his storied career. Could not have happened to a better man. Congrats also to Shannon Kleibrink, who will be representing us on the women's side.
UPDATE: James MacDuff, a former classmate at Queen's whose father Jack won Newfoundland's only Brier in 1976, weighs in.
