Nunavut upsets Northern Ontario at Scotties
Lori Eddy, skip for Nunavut’s women’s curling team at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, speaks with reporters following her team’s surprise 6-5 win against Northern Ontario today in Moose Jaw, Sask. Eddy last made it to the national curling finals for Team Ontario in 1997. “We were just thrilled to have such a good game. It means so much to us and to Nunavut,” she said.

A great win but let’s be clear while Ms. Eddy may be the skip for the Nunavut team she doesn’t live in the territory. I thought there were residence requirements for all teams at the Scotties?
|Lori was imported in which is allowed, the girls only played a hand full of games together and have done amazing. They have the right to be proud of their showing and the other girls on the team will have lots more tournaments due to their young ages. Lori has bee a terrific leader and deserves big congrats
Happens everywhere else in Canada. Hope they win some more games. Go ladies go!!
Lori is a great person and we here in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia are all so proud to say she is from our lovely Town. Lori learned her skill here at the Lunenburg Curling Club back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Great job Lori and team.
I would like to commend their coach Donald Mattie who has done a great deal in supporting curling in Nunavut.
