A message from Niklas Edin:
The Curling Academy teacher in 2003 asked his students about their long term goals. “Make it to a Nationals”, “Win the Nationals and qualify for the Worlds would be cool!”
What about you? The 17-year old who just started 3-4 years earlier: “Win 5 World Championships at skip, the record is 4! 🤓 The teacher prob rolled his eyes at that point but also saw a drive and motivation that was through the roof. 🙄🤔
The 7 years to come the boy lived, breathed, ate and sh*t curling 365 days a year. “No curler can possibly train more or better!”… Then came the injuries followed by surgeries, year after year. Doctors told him to quit sports and stop training or a wheelchair would be waiting👨🏼⚕️”.
“No sir, I got tournaments to play and titles to win! 🫡”
The years passed, the injuries kept coming but the titles also started coming. The relentless work had paid off and from that point there was no looking back! 😈
8 World Championship golds 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
8 European Championship titles 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
3 Olympic medals 🥇🥈🥉
(Ranked #1 in the world was cool as well! 🤩)
Dream of that young foolish boy came true…and then some! 🤭🥹 Which leads me to make a tough and scary decision. To quit while ahead and have time to explore what else is out there! 👨🏼🦯
Don’t worry tho, I’ll be close to the game, watching, coaching, commentating and hopefully playing in the Rock League! 🕺🏼
To not forget anyone, I wanna thank everyone who’s been onboard this incredible journey and helped steering the ship through storms and peaceful sunrises! To all you fans that have been so kind and happy to follow our games closely! 🥹 To family and close ones cheering from afar 🥰
I hope you enjoyed the ride!? I sure did! 🤜🤛😎

One of Winnipeg's top curlers calls it a career: winnipegsun.com/sports/curli…
It’s a beauty. Broadcast booth has outstanding site lines, even if the ladder throws some off! Great fans.
The only place the @Sudbury_Wolves have ever called home, the Sudbury Community Arena has seen wild games and produced talented names, with the 'Wolf on a Wire' continuing to make its journey across the heights of the old building on Elgin Street.

And then there were four! 🏒
The 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs Conference Finals begin tomorrow night on @Sportsnet!
Thanks to all involved with the @grandslamcurl this 24-25 season. Outstanding curling and many thanks to the talented @Sportsnet television crew that brought it to life. See you at the rink next season.
It is being recorded for airing at a later date. Keep an eye on the GSOC website and social media sites for more information.
@SNFaulds Is the All Star Game in Nashville going to be on tv? I have read sites where it says it will be on Sportsnet but can't find anything on Sportsnet site or on my tv guide channel. Really want to watch it!
Shocked and saddened by the news. I was his broadcast partner many times and always looked forward to his “Hey Fauldsy boy, how’s it going?” whenever we worked together. My thoughts are with his family.
ALT It is with heavy hearts that we at Sportsnet mourn the passing of Greg Millen, a beloved figure in our hockey community and cherished member of our NHL on Sportsnet team. As both a player and broadcaster, Greg left an indelible mark on the sport as well as everyone who had the pleasure to know him, watch him, and listen to him. With his infectious passion for the game, sharp insights, and quick wit, Greg was a trusted and familiar voice in the homes of millions of Canadians for more than 30 years. Our deepest condolences go out to Greg’s family, friends, colleagues, fans, and all those who were touched by his kindness, expertise, and endless love for the game of hockey. He will be dearly missed.
Record, speak to no one, leave radio off, don’t touch phone, watch over breakfast!
