WEEK # 1 – STU SELLS OAKVILLE
TANKARD
The season got underway in Oakville ON
Several Hardline teams were there to begin their
season. On the men’s side: Reid
Carruthers, Steve Laycock, and Brad Gushue, who were both making their Hardline
debuts. On the women’s side: Silvana
Tirinzoni, Chelsea Carey, Allison Flaxey, Jacqueline Harrison, Caitlin Romain,
and Courtney George.
This event gave Hardline the opportunity to meet all our
teams, take some on ice action photos (see our Hardline Curling Equipment Facebook page), and wish them all a great curling
season! We also got to spend some social
time with Team Reid Carruthers, Team Caitlin Romain, and Team Doug Brewer,
Hardline supporters! Thanks for your
hospitality!

On the women’s side, Team Silvana Tirinzoni with new coach Gerry Adam qualified for playoffs, beating Anna Hasselborg in the quarterfinals, before losing the semi finals to eventual winners Rachel Homan.
On the men’s side, it was a great event for our teams. Carruthers, Laycock and Gushue all made the
playoffs and each won their quarterfinal games.
In one Hardline battle semi- final, Gushue defeated Laycock 8-6, while Carruthers
held off Jim Cotter by a score of 5-4 in an extra end.
This set up a Hardline battle final between
Gushue and Carruthers, which Gushue won by a 5-3 score. With the win, they joined a number of teams
that won their first event playing with the icePad!
Congratulations to all our teams!
