While his Olympic teammates have hung up their brooms, Gushue’s passion for curling – and a Brier title – still burns bright
So, we’ve been catching up with Brad Gushue this week, chatting about family, his new business venture (frozen yogurt anyone?) and, oh yes, that little Brier thing.
This is Gushue’s ninth ride to the Canadian senior men’s championship, and he’s still only 31. Funny, seems like he’s been around since curlers needed ashtrays on the ice.
But it will be different this year, watching Gushue at the Brier. And, some might argue, just not that darn appealing anymore.
There’s a couple of new, young whippersnappers on the front end, chap named Geoff Walker from Alberta throwing leads stones, and P.E.I.’s Adam Casey.
