SaskTel Continues Coverage at Viterra Scotties and SaskTel Tankard
The top Saskatchewan men’s & women’s teams are set to slide into Melville for the Viterra Scotties and SaskTel Tankard Provincial Curling Championships to determine who will represent Saskatchewan on the national stage this curling season.
“Happy New Year & Happy Playdown Season from everyone here at CURSLASK. It’s been another fantastic curling season and we’re extremely excited to see which of these amazing men’s and women’s teams will earn the right to be called Team Saskatchewan this year,” said Mat Ring, CURLSASK Marketing and Membership Services Coordinator.” Thanks to our ongoing partnership with SaskTel, Saskatchewan curling fans who won’t be able to ‘live it live’ at the beautiful Horizon Credit Union Centre will still be able to tune from all over the province from the comfort of their living room.”
The women kick things off with the Viterra Scotties running from January 24th until the 28th. Then the men close out the provincial curling season with the SaskTel Tankard beginning on January 29th and ending February 2nd.
