TOP MARITIME CURLERS COMPETE IN RODD CLASSIC
Curling fans are in for a treat this coming weekend. This year's Rodd
Curling Classic will feature World and Canadian Champions as well as
some of the top money winners in the Maritimes.
PEI's own Canadian Junior Men's Champ, Brett Gallant, and former World
Junior Champion, Suzanne Birt, will be among 18 men's teams and 12
women's teams competing for some big cash prizes. Top prize for the
men will be $5,000 while the women are shooting for a top prize of
$3,100.
There will be teams in from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Shawn
Adams, who has already won a cash bonspiel this season and has
represented his province at the Brier will be in from Halifax. In both
the men's and women's events there are numerous provincial champions
from all three Maritime provinces.
John Likely is President of the Charlottetown Curling Club and one of
the competitors. He thinks this will be a tough field. "We have the
top competitive curlers here this year and people who come to watch
are going to see some great shots."
The Rodd Curling Classic kicks off on Thursday afternoon at 1:00 PM at
the Charlottetown Curling Club. Round robin play runs through Thursday
evening, all day Friday and Saturday. Playoffs will go Sunday. There
is no admission charge.
