February 22, 2012. Playa Royale, Mexico. Curling.

This is the best time of the year if you enjoy watching Curling on television.   The Women's Championship of Canada, called the Scottie, is being played in Red Deer.   If you are able to watch a CBC channel, you could watch the action two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon and all evening until the evening match is over.  The finals will be held on Sunday.  Every province sends one team, plus the championship team from last year.   Competition has been stiff.

Then beginning on March 3, the Men's Canadian  championship will start, called the Brier.  The final will be held March 11.  The quality of the curling will be high and very competitive.  I am delighted that we will be able to watch the matches in Nova Scotia.

Shortly after the Brier, the World Championship will be held in Sweden, with the winners of the women's Scottie and the men's Brier representing Canada.    It is a big deal to represent your country in any sports and the players I am watching in the Scottie are just as keen as any other athlete.  I am enjoying watching these ladies curl.
