A Winnipeg Beach couple is set to hit the sheet Sunday in Fredericton as one of two teams representing Manitoba at the Canadian Mixed Doubles Championship.
Team Lott/Lott is made up of Kadriana and Colton Lott, who began curling together in the mixed doubles league in 2018. The pair said they both curled separately from a young age and started dating in 2017.
“Then 2018 came around and he asked me to play in provincials for mixed doubles and I said, ‘Yeah!’” Kadriana recalled.
Last month, the Lotts won the 2024 Dynasty Provincial Mixed Doubles championship.
When it comes to games, the couple said they can sometimes get frustrated with each other, but try to keep things positive.
“You get more comfortable with your partner…versus maybe someone that's just your friend,” Kadriana said, adding the pair leaves negativity “on the ice.”
“If you are down on each other, that's only going to disrupt your curling game.”
For the last seven-and-half months, Toronto resident Heather McArthur has been living out what she describes as her 'worst nightmare.' On Feb. 7, her then three-year-old son Jacob along with his father Loc Phu 'Jay' Le departed for what was supposed to be a week-long visit to Vietnam to celebrate the Lunar New Year with family, McArthur says.
