Fourteen women’s teams to compete in the Home Hardware Curling Pre-Trials starting Monday at the 1,050-seat Queens Place Emera Centre

One of the formative victories of Jill Brothers’ curling career came at the Liverpool Curling Club almost 15 years ago.

“Every person in my giant, extended family was there,” Brothers recalled. “It was very exciting. That’s a little piece that I might hold on to, going back home to play again. That was a long time ago now but I still remember it very clearly.”Brothers will skip one of 14 women’s teams in the Home Hardware Curling Pre-Trials starting Monday at the 1,050-seat Queens Place Emera Centre.

“Curling is a game where you never know what can happen,” Galusha said in a recent interview. “If you curl well at the pre-trials, you could come out and it’s a possibility for us. But it’s still a little bit unbelievable to me, if I’m going to be honest. Headlining the men’s draw are teams skipped by Glenn Howard , Colton Flasch , Jason Gunnlaugson , Pat Simmons and Tyler Tardi .Her mother still lives in the town about a 90-minute drive from Halifax, and will host Brothers and some of her teammates during pre-trials.

Kevin Koe and Rachel Homan skipped Canadian teams at the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Both missed the podium.
