Three wild cards in Canada's men's and women's curling championships apparently here to stay means keeping noses to grindstones to earn them.
Bumping up the number of wild-card berths from one to three was a COVID-19 adaptation in Calgary's 2021 curling bubble.
When the dust settled, Kaitlyn Lawes at No. 4, Casey Scheidegger at No. 6 and Meghan Walter at No. 7 in the CTRS earned wild cards for this year's Hearts in Kamloops.Lethbridge's Casey Scheidegger is the skip of Wild Card #2. The team lost to Northern Ontario Sunday morning 9-6 "You can't really lay off at all," Walter said."Next season, we've talked about it, we're playing the same amount of events, 14 or 13 we've played."You've got to play in as many as possible and try to get to playoffs most of the time. Sometimes you fall short."
"We attempted to play in 'spiels that would give us the most kind of bang for our buck, so they would give us the most points. "You might see teams chasing points. If you're in the hunt and you're around that top five in the CTRS, there's a chance you might throw in an extra event in January."
