We have arrived

Kevin, Curtis and I arrived yesterday around 1:30 pm. We flew in with the Team Ontario women and the Team Quebec men (Kevin knows their skip). Also on our flight were organizers from next year's Dominion at Scarboro G&CC. We had a smooth flight, got checked into our hotel and were welcomed with a bucket of beer! Last night was the "Ice Breaker" event, which Curtis and Kevin attended (I'm sure Curtis has a few good stories, and Kevin wasn't too happy to be awake for breakfast this morning!). Jordan went to dinner at his wife Catie's aunt and uncle's house in Delta, BC along with her grandparents. Dinner was great and it works really nicely that this event is in the Vancouver area so I could visit.

The weather here is cool (1-10 deg Celsius) and it's supposed to rain the whole week. Typical Vancouver weather! Here's a shot from my hotel room this morning:

Greg arrived this morning after his successful weekend at the WCT Sun Life Classic Bonspiel in Brantford (losing the quarter-finals last night). Today we have team registration at noon, the team meeting at 12:30 pm and our team practice at 2:40 pm. We have our Team Based Draw Scoring System at the end of practice, where we all draw the button and our combined score is used for potential tie-breaker seeding at the end of the week, and for tied draws prior to each game. Tonight we have the Opening Banquet where we'll be dressing in our nice pinks! The games start tomorrow at 10:00 am against Nunavut.
