8. Why should people go and watch or participate in the Moose Jaw SWCT? I think people should go and watch or participate in this SWCT event because it is in a brand new awesome facility, the viewing is excellent, the ice should be great, the teams will be some of the best in the province and the curling will be a high calibre.

9. What is your most memorable curling moment? Listening on the radio when the Anholt team won the provincial men’s title, honourable mention to the Yeske team winning the provincial Dominion Ladies.

10. Who is your favourite curler and why? I would have to say Pat Simmons or Joel Jordison but since I work at the rink I don’t really like to pick favourites.
