Guess he was tired of living in Brad Jacob’s shadow

This is a super niche find by me, but only because I’m interested in both.

Rock League began Monday April 6th.

The OHL Cup Finals were held April 4th in the exact same venue.

Has it all been a lie all along? According to most Reddit curling knowers it takes 4 or 5 days to prepare a venue. Anyone got an answer for this one?

A message from Niklas Edin:

The Curling Academy teacher in 2003 asked his students about their long term goals. “Make it to a Nationals”, “Win the Nationals and qualify for the Worlds would be cool!”

What about you? The 17-year old who just started 3-4 years earlier: “Win 5 World Championships at skip, the record is 4! The teacher prob rolled his eyes at that point but also saw a drive and motivation that was through the roof.

The 7 years to come the boy lived, breathed, ate and sh*t curling 365 days a year. “No curler can possibly train more or better!”… Then came the injuries followed by surgeries, year after year. Doctors told him to quit sports and stop training or a wheelchair would be waiting”.

“No sir, I got tournaments to play and titles to win! ”

The years passed, the injuries kept coming but the titles also started coming. The relentless work had paid off and from that point there was no looking back!

8 World Championship golds

8 European Championship titles

3 Olympic medals

(Ranked #1 in the world was cool as well! )

Dream of that young foolish boy came true…and then some! Which leads me to make a tough and scary decision. To quit while ahead and have time to explore what else is out there!

Don’t worry tho, I’ll be close to the game, watching, coaching, commentating and hopefully playing in the Rock League!

To not forget anyone, I wanna thank everyone who’s been onboard this incredible journey and helped steering the ship through storms and peaceful sunrises! To all you fans that have been so kind and happy to follow our games closely! To family and close ones cheering from afar

I hope you enjoyed the ride!? I sure did!

We host a lot of special events and trying to recruit enough volunteers to bartend is getting to be a lot... Not to mention potential issues with compliance, service quality, etc, we probably should consider hiring bartenders. Several years ago, we leased out our kitchen space and it's been great. One less thing to worry about, and we get lease payments to pay for all costs and depreciation of kitchen assets. We are wondering about the bar now? Does anybody lease out their bar? That person/business would then be responsible for hiring and training bartenders, stocking inventory, etc. How much do you charge? What are some other things to consider? Please include your general location, as I imagine some liquor rules may impact answers. We are in Canada

I started practicing with a league and I want to buy shoes looking online but don’t know where to look and any tips on the kind or the speed rating?

Has anyone else had problems with ordering off hardline I put an order through and it didn’t take any payment from my bank and hasn’t been shipped if anyone can help it would be appreciated

Giulia, Elena, and Marta are staying together, and adding a new player to play lead, with Giulia skipping.

I wonder if Stefania is taking a step back from curling. Who else could she curl with out of Italy?
