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.
