Moore skins into tournament of hearts THE North Shore Winter Club’s Linda Moore curling. rink will be the 12th team at the 1986 Scott Tournament of Hearts Canadian Ladies Curling Championship be- ing held in London, Ontario, Feb. 22 to March 1. The tournament will be telecast live on The Sports Network (TSN) Feb. 23 to 28. As a result of its bye into the tournament, the world champion Moore rink of Lindsay Sparkes, Debbie Jones, and Laurie Carney, has not taken. part in any of the traditional provincial playdowns. Moore’s team started the year by winning the first ever ladies car *spiel in Kelowna, B.C. From there they went on to cap- ture top money at the major cash rom *spiel in Toronto. In January, all top competitive rinks were actively involved in the pursuit of their own provincial ti- tles. With their bye to the Nationals, Moore’s rink travelled to Europe photo submitted LINDA MOORE and her B.C. rink will be defending their title at the Scott Tournament of Hearts, also known as the Canadian Ladies Curling Championship. The championship will be shown on TSN from the Thompson Arena in London, Ontario beginning Feb. 23 at 2:30 p.m. Germany. for two weeks and ’spiels in Berne, Switzerland and Lahr, West Ger- many. “Europe has been the highlight for us,’ said Moore ‘“‘getting te play European teams that may be in Kelowna for the Ladies World this year was a rea! thrill.” Moore’s winning _ performance continued. and the team won the ‘spiel in Switzerland ‘and caime third the next weekend in West Moore said she found it fascinating that European curling teams are participating in formal government sponsored training programs for the 1988 Olympics in Calgary where curling will be a featured demonstration sport. In- siders feel that curling will be an Olympic medal sport in 1992. “The rumour that the Russians are already getting ready is all over Europe,’’ Moore said. In Canada, Olympic trials will be held in spring 1987. . Eight teams will compete for the right to represent Canada the fol- Jowing year. The winner of this year’s Scott Tournament of Hearts will qualify for the trials along with next year’s winner, two run- ners-up, and four other rinks that will be selected from independent curling camps, “We want to perform well beeuuse we believe in the idea of the team,’’ Moore said, ‘we'd just love to represent Canada again, especially when the Worlds are be- ing played in our home province.”’ Describing her team, Moore said, ‘We're a lot more relaxed. We're more comfortable with each other and know that each of us plays her position well.’’ Moore's demanding schedule has required that she put her schooling on hold until the sum- mer term.
