👏 AND TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS WEEKEND POSSIBLE, THANK YOU!
To every curler who traveled to Arizona, every volunteer who gave their time, everyone who helped behind the scenes, and all the friends and family who cheered from the warm room or tuned in on YouTube, you helped make this event something special.
These weekends remind us why we love this crazy sport so much. Sure, we all want to win, but it’s the people you meet, the friendships you build, the laughs you share, and the memories you take home that make curling what it is.
And finally, from all of us at the Coyotes Curling Club, we want to wish Team Kunkel and Coach Jeff Baird the very best as they head to the USA Curling 5U National Championship!
