Why I wanted to be part of the curling tour :

To take part in this tour would be a culmination of 40 years of playing. I started as a rank novice playing in various competitions to becoming a National Champion at Senior and Masters level. I first played against a Canadian tour from Ottawa Valley in 1990.I have played against the Canadians on their 1998/2013/2018 Strathcona Cup tours and against Canada in the World Senior Championships in 2011. A visit to Canada will give the opportunity to play against multiple Canadian Clubs.
