When he moved from Texas to Canada to play professional football, the last thing Bo Levi Mitchell expected to become was a curling fan.
Growing up in Regina as a tried and true fan of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the last person Ben Hebert expected to become one of his best friends was the quarterback of the Calgary Stampeders.

“When I found out he was a curler, I thought, OK, that’s a sport I’m never gonna watch,” said Mitchell, who hails from Katy, Texas and played college football at Eastern Washington.
“But this year I watched the entire Brier. I watched every single match that was televised. I had my daughters watching, had my wife watching. You’ve got a good friend in a sport and you become very, very passionate about it.”

“I’m 99% positive it’s gonna happen Aug. 5,” the Calgary Stampeders quarterback said Friday. “Just based off the emails and the tone around the conversation. It feels like we need to make sure the guys are ready. I do feel very confident that training camps will start around that July 10 area.”
