We talked to the he skip of the junior women’s team that ran through a very tough field of top rinks in London at the Southwestern Ontario Women’s Charity Classic. One part of the conversation: why can’t junior teams in Canada play down in for the men’s and women’s titles? Interestingly, and hopefully there’s not a Curling Show jinx, Rachel’s team struggled just a few days after this interview against some of the top junior women’s teams at the OVCA Junior Superspiel.

We’d planned to talk to Arnold some time ago but ended up on the phone with him the day after he decided to stop running the spiel in Winnipeg that usually bears the Asham name. We talked to him about that decision, the challenges of the equipment business and a whole lot more. It’s an interesting conversation with someone who has lived and breathed curling for countless years and was one of the earliest proponents of the World Curling Tour.

Scott Pfeifer gives his thoughts on everything from the allocation of points by position to the possibility of Randy Ferbey sweeping a stone in Mixed Doubles at the Continental Cup.
