2015 Brier, in Calgary
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			As an avid curler and even bigger curling fan I'm getting excited as the Womens and Mens Nationals near. The Saddledome is home to the brier Feb 28- Mar 8 and the field is set.  
  
You would have to say there were a few upsets as the provicials champions were crowned over the past couple of weeks, with the biggest coming out of Manitoba followed by Ontario. Reid Carruthers and his newly formed team will be wearing the Bison this year as once again the Mcewen Team, despite being the number 1 team in the world right now, failed to win the province. And Team Keam, another young upsart team will be representing Ontario. The field is as follows 
  
CAN- John Morris 
AB- Kevin Koe 
BC- Jim Cotter 
MB- Reid Carruthers 
NB- Jeremy Mallais 
NWT- Jaimie Koe 
NF- Brad Gushue 
NS- Pete Burgess 
NOnt- Brad Jacobs 
Ont- Mark Keam 
PEI-TDB 
PQ- Jean Michelle Menard 
SK- Steve Laycock 
YK- Robert Smallwood 
  
Jacobs, K. Koe and Gushue will be the favorites to qualify for the play offs, with Morris, Carruthers and Menard battling for the 4th spot.
