CBC Sports' That Curling Show returns on eve of possibly momentous Scotties
CBC
Two of Canada's most prolific skips will be chasing history at this year's Scotties Tournament of Hearts set to begin Friday in Kamloops, B.C.
Kerri Einarson and her team out of Gimli, Man., have won the past three women's national curling championships and look to make it four straight.
If Einarson is able to win, she'll tie Colleen Jones and her team out of Halifax as the only women's team in the country to have accomplished the feat.
"It never gets old wearing the Maple Leaf and we love that feeling putting it on," Einarson said on CBC Sports' That Curling Show.
There's another connection to Colleen Jones at this year's Scotties — the other Jones, Jennifer, is looking to win her seventh championship, putting her in the lead for most all-time.
"I love the game. I know it sounds cliché but I truly love the game. It's never been about success. Yes, standing on top of the podium is amazing, but for me it's about the love of the game and I still love being out there playing," Jennifer Jones said.
The 18-team tournament begins Friday and concludes on Sunday, Feb. 26.
That Curling Show returns to set up the Scotties with Jennifer Jones and Einarson leading the show. Six-time Scotties champion Colleen Jones and CBC Sports reporter Devin Heroux will be bringing curling fans closer to the teams and excitement than ever before.
Fans can watch the weekly show throughout the rest of the season on CBC Sports' YouTube channel and CBC Gem.
After pushback and backlash by curlers and the public, Curling Canada reversed its decision.
Emma Miskew is the interim representative for Canada on the Curling Players Association and on the show she says the pregnancy issue was a perfect example of how the athlete's voice was excluded in consultation.
"We are speaking up and saying we would like a seat at the table," Miskew said on That Curling Show.
"Athletes should be part of these discussions. That's just an important thing that hasn't been done yet, at least successfully."
