    Fourteen teams set
    for Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings in Ottawa

    May 1, 2017 – Fourteen teams are officially a step closer to achieving their gold-medal dreams after being named to the field for the 2017 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings, it was announced today by Curling Canada.

    The seven men’s and seven women’s teams will compete from Dec. 2-10 at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa for the right to represent Canada in four-player curling at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

    It will be a who’s-who of Canadian curling coming to Ottawa, led by the recently crowned 2017 women’s and men’s world champions: hometown favourite Rachel Homan of Ottawa and 2006 Olympic gold-medallist Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L.

    Additionally, the reigning Olympic gold-medallists — Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and Winnipeg’s Jennifer Jones — are returning in hopes of defending the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings titles they won four years ago in Winnipeg, and then looking to make it back-to-back Olympic gold.

    Calgary’s Kevin Koe, meanwhile, returns to Ottawa looking to replicate the success he enjoyed in the city in 2016, when he won the Tim Hortons Brier and then followed up with gold at the 2016 World Men’s Championship in Basel, Switzerland.

    Today’s announcement is the culmination of a qualifying process that began during the 2014-15 season, with teams able to qualify directly for the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings in three distinct manners:

    By winning the Home Hardware Canada Cup;

    By winning the Tim Hortons Brier/Scotties Tournament of Hearts and then earning a medal at the world men’s or women’s curling championship;

    Performance on the Canadian Team Ranking System (CTRS).
    In some cases, teams clinched more than one berth; Homan, for instance, had four direct-entry berths based on the qualifying criteria, while Jones had three. On the men’s side, Gushue qualified in three different ways while Koe did it twice.

    In cases where teams qualified in more than one way, the berth then went to the highest non-qualified team on the 2016-17 CTRS. The one exception was when the winner of the Tim Hortons Brier/Scotties Tournament of Hearts didn’t win a medal at the world championship; in that instance, the Trials berth went to the highest non-qualified team on the CTRS in that season. That was the case in 2016 when Calgary’s Chelsea Carey won the Scotties but finished fourth at the Ford Worlds. Her Trials berth then went to Jones, the 2015-16 CTRS leader.

    Thoughts of Many

    My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.

    — Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister Of India
