(frank)ing George Cope

Unlike hockey or basketball, you can't just assemble an all-star team from the best individual curlers in the country. Curling teams are tight-knit operations: they know each other's tics, they build a strategy together, they sleep in poopty motel rooms from Moose Jaw to Moncton together, and they sit cross-legged on the endboards together during the 5th-end break, drinking juice boxes and eating orange slices and graham crackers. (This is a real thing curlers do, and it might be the most adorable part of curling. It's like a kid's soccer game.) But anyways: top-level curling teams are well-oiled machines. That's why the Olympic trials are such a big deal. The person playing lead on the team that goes to Sochi won't be the 4th best curler in Canada, but he will be the guy that's played with this four-man team for years, training for this moment, playing against all of these other teams in small cash-prize tournaments on a weekly basis. A lot of these teams have Biggie/Tupac-level beef with each other. Players have been kicked off of teams, ex-players have formed new teams - with all due respect to Degrassi, the drama of curling is the best soap opera in Canada. Don't let the polite Canadian handshakes fool you, some of these teams loathe each other.




Team Rachel Homan

A Hater's Guide to Curling: The 2013 Roar of the Rings

Ugh, that photo. Ugh, Rachel Homan.

Rachel Homan is Satan. Just a moody, pouty, overly-intense, teammate-blaming, screaming, broom-slamming terror of a 24-year-old. I've talked to people who've played against Rachel Homan. They can back me up on this.

Team Rachel Homan is the pizza burn on the mouth of women's curling.

They're also the best team in the country, possibly the world, at this moment. What they lack in crafty grizzled veteran strategy as a team barely out of school, they make up for in raw shot-making talent.

The worst thing is, as the curling equivalent of babies (they're all 24/25 years old and have played together since Juniors), they're just going to get better and better. Barring Rachel Homan having a meltdown and blowing her team up (not out of the realm of possibility!) these four will be dominating the Canadian curling stage for the next 20 years.

One of the hardest things I'll ever have to do in my life is to cheer for Rachel Homan when she wins the Trials and represents Canada at the Olympics.

Are they the best-looking team in the tournament: Yes, but that's not what's important here. They're the devil.

My impression of Rachel Homan missing a shot by 4 feet and passive-aggressively talking to her team: "I felt like I hit the broom, it was just like, y'know... [rolls eyes, chomps on gum] I dunno, I felt like you guys swept it too earlyyy? And like I dunno. Maybe next time just, like, don't ruin the shot with your sweeping? No, no- I'm not blaming you - it's just like, y'know - something to think about."

agreed



also i legitimately leglol'd out loud at the beginning of the Jennifer Jones part of the article





The biggest team in women's curling over the past decade. Also one of the most beloved. Also one of the most intensely hated.

great article all around. It's hilarious how soap opera-y the whole sport is. I love that it's so big up there.

we have nothing like it down here in terms of the drama and the teams and the individual personalities and the betrayals

it's the wwe

Val Sweeting has a low-profile young Alberta team who've only been on the scene for a few years, and snuck into the top-8 of the Trials off of strong tournament performance. They've recruited Amber Holland, former national champion skip whose team somehow didn't make the cut for the finals, as their alternate. That's one of the coolest thing about curling: picking up your defeated foes as your own backup players.
