The Korbel Elite Challenge will be held today; the match will be televised on NBC in late November. This will be a six end match between Bemidji’s Pete Fenson and Sweden’s Peja Lindholm.

The most interesting thing about this match is its venue: It will take place in New York City, outdoors, at Rockefeller Plaza. As if making good curling ice on a recreational skating rink wasn’t enough of a challenge, the weather also may pose a problem. Check out JHCurl’s blog for on location coverage. Pete Fenson also is scheduled to appear on NBC’s Today show this morning (10/26/2007).
