  • Much of the training takes place at the Cargill Curling Training Centre in Morris. The team is also competing in the Manitoba Open Bonspiel this weekend.

The Manitoba team, consisting of skip Dennis Thurston, third Melvin Hart, second Neil Kitching, and lead Dennis Kitching, is set to represent Canada at the World Deaf Curling Championships in Gangneung, South Korea, from March 16 to 23. This marks the first time Canada has sent a team to this event since 2015.
