Young curlers get up close with provincial junior curlers
Younger curlers in town have been getting some up close and personal time with some of the teams competing in the Canadian Junior Curling Championship.
The Future Stars Initiative provides a youth curler a chance to spend time with one of the provincial rinks competing in the tournament. The Prince Edward Island’s Junior Women’s rink was paired with a youth from the Melfort Curling Club. Skip Lauren Ferguson told paNOW taking part in the initiative brought things full circle for her.
“It was a new experience, because I know whenever I was younger, I really looked up to the junior curlers and stuff cause I always thought you know I want to be there. Now that I am here, it’s really cool to be able to inspire others,” Ferguson said.
During the team’s time with their future star, Ferguson said they got the chance to take part in a few activities.
