Maple Leaf Gardens hosting The Players Ch’ship, starting Tues., with coverage on SportsNet and CBC (The Curling News)

At long last, here it is – the draw matchups for The Players’ Championship, the final event in the 2012-13 Grand Slam of Curling series.

Thirty of the top teams – 15 men’s squads and 15 women’s foursomes – will gather in Toronto April 16-21 for a rockfest taking place on hallowed ground: the legendary and historic Maple Leaf Gardens.

Tuesday night kicks off with a bang as both world women’s champion Eve Muirhead of Scotland and world bronze medallist Rachel Homan of Canada are in action – with Homan taking on 2012 world champ Mirjam Ott of Switzerland. In men’s opening night action, it’s a rematch of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic championship final as Canada’s Kevin Martin takes on Norway’s Crazy Pants, aka Thomas Ulsrud and Co.

None other than David Nedohin of Edmonton will be donning The Pants with Team Norway in Toronto.
