November 2015

Twenty five curlers left from the Kitchener Waterloo area for the 99th edition of the exchange in Detroit.
The weather was great for the whole weekend.
KW ended up with an overall advantage of 6 shots.
It would have been more, but Detroit could only field 2 teams for the afternoon competition!
