Red Deer Curling Classic hits the ice this weekend
The Red Deer Curling Classic once again takes over the Pidherney Centre this weekend.
It’s the latest stop on the 2017-18 World Curling Tour season.
“We’ve got a great mix of local and international talent,” says Dustin Eckstrand with the event organizing committee. “With the Winter Olympics coming, up you’ve got a great chance to see international teams that will be competing [there] in February.”
Teams from Japan, Korea, Scotland, Switzerland, Denmark and Russia are hitting the ice this weekend along with plenty of local talent that includes men’s rinks skipped by Lowell Peterman and Scott Cruikshank and Marla Sherrer on the women’s side.
