Team Robert will be one of 21 Canadian boys’ teams heading to Timmins in February to compete for the Under-18 Curling National Championship
It’s the ultimate test for Canada’s young curlers, and one local team feels like they have what it takes to rise to the occasion.
Robert and Appleton are both Grade 12 students at Korah, while Miskiw and MacKay are in Grade 11 at White Pines. This year, Miskiw became the newest addition to the team after the squad’s other member aged out, and they registered for provincials in North Bay that played out this past weekend. Despite losing to Sudbury in the final last weekend, Team Robert’s 3-1 record in the round robin secured them a spot in the upcoming national championship.
Robert explains that the team has an undeniable chemistry that helps them through even the tightest of matches, and their ability to focus on the task at hand while keeping things light makes a huge difference in their play. “It feels good,” he says. “There haven’t been many junior teams out of the Sault that get to represent the city in a national. We’re really excited to represent our city.”
