Six days into the Brier and not a single emailed fan complaint about players screaming too loud. Truly wish I could say the same during the Scotties. But, of course, I can't. It's International Women's Day, and you should read this column about why that crap needs to stop.

This hits hard, but I couldn't be happier that @TSNVicRauter is going out on his own terms. Pure class in every sense of the word. I'm reminded from this story that I was in the building in Kamloops for the 1986 Canadian Mixed Championship when Vic called his first game for TSN, and here we are, 40 years later. I wish him the very best for the future!

The ‘Voice of Curling’ is calling it a career.

Absolutely shattering news on so many levels. One of the really good guys on the curling and CFL scene. Man, this hits hard. Thinking of his family and media colleagues across Canada this morning.

We are sad to hear the news today of the passing of longtime Winnipeg curling journalist Ted Wyman after a valiant battle with cancer. Ted covered our sport with passion and integrity and earned the trust of curlers and curling fans across Canada with his knowledge of the sport and its people. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Ted’s family, friends and media colleagues across the country.

I grew up in #Kamloops, I live here now, and I'm struck with unbelievable sadness at the news today that the iconic Red Bridge has been destroyed by fire. I prefer to remember it as it was captured on canvas by my friend Laura Zerebeski 10 years ago. You can see more of her amazing work at laurazee.com/.

Make the double and roll buried. 😎 No problem for Brent Laing 🇨🇦 whose line and weight are spot-on.

Hoping that A) Dave has a speedy recovery; B) Mark knocks it out of the park as the acting HC; and C) that @jlefeb25's fumblerooski play is finally put into the playbook after years of being ignored by DD.

Dave Dickenson will not be on @calstampeders sideline tonight. Ass’t head coach and special teams coord. Mark Kilam will be acting head coach. Offensive play calling will be collaborative effort. GM John Hufnagel will be on sidelines in support role for the entire coaching staff

On the list of jobs I'd hate to have right now, @AirCanada customer service would be near the bottom; I feel for them every time I call. Big shoutout to Henry in the Toronto call centre for sorting me out after a cancellation, and doing it with class, patience & professionalism.

This is pretty significant for my hometown. Just in time for the Scotties Tournament of Hearts next February in Kamloops — the 42nd year of Kruger Inc. being the title sponsor of the most famous women's national curling championship in the world.

This was shattering news to hear. Met Woody at my first Brier, 1996, and he saw I had a passion for curling. He brought me to the Herald, opened so many doors in this sport for me. Thank you to @byterryjones for this wonderful remembrance. Deepest sympathies to Woody's family.

Hey @AirCanada — please, please, PLEASE get a message to your ground crew at @yvrairport for going above and beyond to get me and my luggage home yesterday despite a 10-minute connection time. Made my day! Thank you!

“It was the greatest shot of my career and I just want everyone to know… it was an inturn!”
Quebec’s Jean-Michel Menard is a Brier champion and now a two-time Canadian Mixed Champion thanks to this game-saving shot.
An honour to get to call this exciting gold medal final.
