2010 Olympic curling teams begin competitive seasons this weekend in Ontario

Road to Vancouver - The 2010 Olympic men's and women's curling teams* will be in action this weekend at the AMJ Campbell Shorty Jenkins Classic in Brockville, Ontario. This is the first competition of a busy year for the Olympic teams led by John Shuster (Duluth, Minn.) and Debbie McCormick (Rio, Wis.). The event also features 2006 Olympic bronze medalist Pete Fenson's team and 2010 Olympic Team Trials-Curling runner-up Patti Lank (Lewiston, N.Y.). After completing seven training camps this summer, the 2010 Olympic team members recently traveled to Switzerland to complete their training and take part in light competition with European teams. The teams both finished with winning records. Follow online at: http://www.usacurl.org/curlingrocks/
