Reserve your tickets now for Ford World Women’s Ch’ship in Saint John (CCA)

(by Graham Lloyd)

The 2014 Ford World Women’s Curling Championship, presented by Booster Juice, is coming to Saint John, New Brunswick, March 15-23, when the brightest stars in the game will compete for gold in the Harbour Station sports and entertainment complex.

It’s been nearly 15 years since the best in the men’s and women’s game converged in Saint John to fight for world curling supremacy. Team Canada, skipped by Jeff Stoughton, lost to Scotland’s Hammy McMillan in the 1999 championship final, and Sweden’s Elisabet Gustafson won the gold medal for the women; Canada’s Colleen Jones missed the playoffs. But, the legacy of that event lives on, and the community is eagerly awaiting the return of world-class curling next March.

Along with the opportunity for fans to take part in the unique experience of live championship curling, a number of intangibles accompany the city’s role as host of one of the most prestigious events in the sport.

The excitement surrounding the upcoming Ford World Women’s Curling Championship filters down to the grass-roots level of the four local curling clubs providing the volunteer base, and those clubs will receive the benefits from the legacy to be left by the Women’s world championship.
