Curlers will face harsh penalties for leaving Calgary bubble (CBC Sports)

(by Devin Heroux) Curling Canada will impose harsh penalties should anyone step outside its proposed competition bubble in Calgary, CBC Sports has learned.

Markin McPhail Arena at Canada Olympic Park.

The national sport federation announced last week it will hold both the men’s and women’s national championships, as well as mixed doubles national, the men’s world championships over a number of weeks starting February stretching into April.

Two Grand Slam of Curling events will also take place at the Markin McPhail Arena at Canada Olympic Park. Any player or coach who leaves the Calgary curling bubble without clearance for any reason during the Scotties or Brier, or invites a non-participant into the bubble, will not only be disqualified from competition immediately, but that individual or individuals will also be suspended from competitive play until July 2022. That means no Olympics in Beijing 2022.
