Here’s some news from the curling world:

Don’t forget to watch the broadcast of the Korbel Elite Challenge on NBC, Sunday at 1:30pm central time. This may be the only chance to watch curling on television for people who live south of the 49th parallel.

Speaking of Pete Fenson, his team is having a rough go in the “B” pool of The National, a Capital One Grand Slam of Curling event in Port Hawkesbury, NS. Current standings are here, and some of the games are being broadcast live over the internet by the CBC. You can watch them free at this link.

John Shuster’s rink will play in the 2007 Qualifier draw for the National Championship, in Waupaca, WI beginning January 3rd. You can see the draw sheets here; if there is live scoring, I’ll try to post the link.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
