As I write this the quarterfinal games are on the ice. There are some phenominal teams - three out of the four Trials teams - and one national olympic squad! It is amazing how the cream always seems to rise to the top.
The one name people may not notice is that of Kerri Flett from Winnipeg. This young skip has aligned herself with a very experienced team and has done very well so far this season. She is also on the current Manitoba Mixed Champions and by all sounds we will be hearing from her a lot in the future.
Another interesting point to note is that out of five international teams, only China...the world champion, qualified here in Calgary. Anything can happen in an event like the Olympics where 10 pre-qualified teams compete but when there is an event 32 teams deep it is nice to see our depth of teams play out.
Keep posted on the scores today....there are two world championship teams in the mix of eight, three Trials teams, one team that has only lost one game this year.....I think it is anyone's game today!
