One of Canada91裸聊视频檚 most accomplished young curlers may have the opportunity to close out his junior career on home ice, Curling Canada announced today.

Three-time Canadian junior men91裸聊视频檚 champion, Tyler Tardi, 91裸聊视频� who lives in Cloverdale and curls out of Langley Curling Centre 91裸聊视频� could be vying to keep his title on a rink very familiar to he and his team.

Turns out the 2020 New Holland Canadian Junior Men91裸聊视频檚 and Women91裸聊视频檚 Curling Championships are being played Jan. 18 to 26 in Langley 91裸聊视频� and specifically at the George Preston Recreation Centre in Brookswood.

91裸聊视频淲e just found out the Canadian junior nationals are going to be held in our home club 91裸聊视频� the Langley Curling Centre 91裸聊视频� and we91裸聊视频檙e pretty ecstatic,91裸聊视频� Tardi shared with Black Press.

91裸聊视频淵ou know, we91裸聊视频檝e been in this club forever 91裸聊视频� really the past nine or 10 years 91裸聊视频� and to have the chance to compete in the nations here, or possibly have a chance to do that, is just an incredible feeling,91裸聊视频� added the skip.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e still feeling the excitement of winning this year91裸聊视频檚 New Holland Canadian junior championship, and knowing that I may have the opportunity to compete next year on home ice is beyond a thrill,91裸聊视频� said Tardi, who along with his vice-skip Sterling Middleton became the first curlers ever to win three Canadian junior championships by winning gold at the 2019 national juniors in Prince Albert, Sask. just a few weeks ago.

91裸聊视频淭he Langley Curling Centre is a superb facility, and I know it will be in first-class condition next year so that the competitors can show off their skills,91裸聊视频� Tardi added after Curling Canada board member Paul Addison shared the news Thursday afternoon in the rink91裸聊视频檚 lounge.

Fellow teammate Matthew Hall was also on hand for the announcement. He joined Team Tardi this year, after years of curling in Ontario, and joined Tardi in expressing gratitude for all the local club has done to 91裸聊视频済et us where we are today,91裸聊视频� he said.

91裸聊视频淚t is great just getting to see such a huge championship 91裸聊视频� that we91裸聊视频檝e been a part of for so long 91裸聊视频� come to this community. They91裸聊视频檙e really going to see the benefits of hosting this kind of an event,91裸聊视频� Hall added.

Having just won the nationals, this team is preparing to leave next Thursday for Liverpool, N.S. to compete in the world junior curling championships. Again, Team Tardi (a.k.a. Team Canada) won that global title last year, and will be trying to continue their junior reign.

As for Thursday91裸聊视频檚 curling bombshell, it will be the first time the Canadian junior championships have been contested in Langley, but the city has host curling events in the past 91裸聊视频� none bigger than the 2012 World Financial Group Continental Cup when Team World prevailed over Team North America at the Langley Events Centre.

And the man behind the bid to host the juniors is none other than retired centre manager Nigel Easton, who helped host the Continental Cup.

91裸聊视频淲e were thrilled to get word from Curling Canada that our bid for the 2020 New Holland Canadian Junior Championships was successful,91裸聊视频� said Nigel Easton, chair of the Langley host committee. He was approached last May to put in a bid, and was overjoyed by today91裸聊视频檚 announcement.

91裸聊视频淲e want to give players, their families and visiting fans an experience they won91裸聊视频檛 soon forget when they come to Langley next year. We have a first-class facility, and it will be a perfect stage for these young athletes,91裸聊视频� said Easton, who 91裸聊视频� as it turns out 91裸聊视频� was Tardi91裸聊视频檚 first curling coach more than a decade ago 91裸聊视频� and was at this year91裸聊视频檚 nationals when Tardi and his team earned the third consecutive gold medal.

Noting that 2020 will be Tardi91裸聊视频檚 last year in juniors, Easton said he wants to see Tyler and the team come back and compete and win 91裸聊视频� this time on home ice 91裸聊视频� for the fourth time. 91裸聊视频淭hat would be just wonderful.91裸聊视频�

In the meantime, he said the job now is to start preparing for the championships 91裸聊视频� which will bring 14 men91裸聊视频檚 and 14 women91裸聊视频檚 teams to this community to play.

Play will be divided up inside the George Preston Recreation Centre, which opened back in 1973 and is currently under renovations. Langley Township Councillor Bob Long, who was also on hand for the announcement, assured those in attendance that the work would be done in time for the junior championships.

Four of the six sheets of ice in the curling rink will be used for the championships 91裸聊视频� the other two sheets will be taken over for spectator seating.

Plus the B.C. Hockey League91裸聊视频檚 Langley Rivermen has agreed to give up its space in the adjacent Lodge for the duration of the curling championships, Easton said. That makes room for another five sheets, bringing it to a total of nine sheets that are expected to be going steady for the duration of the event.

In addition to creating a high-calibre competition for the players, Easton hopes 91裸聊视频渢he spectator crowd really gets a thrill out of it, too.91裸聊视频�

And, to pull it all off, one of the biggest jobs that lie ahead for Easton and his committee will be pulling together some 200 volunteers to help run the event.

Those interested in volunteering are being asked to contact the Langley Curling Centre at 604-530-8218.

91裸聊视频淩ight now, I am looking for some people who will take on some managerial responsibilities for the event,91裸聊视频� Easton concluded.

This will be the seventh time British Columbia has hosted the combined Canadian juniors.

Victoria is a two-time host, in 2017 and 2004; other previous host sites were North Vancouver in 1988, Vernon in 1992, Kelowna in 1999 and Salmon Arm in 2009. Prior to 1987, the Canadian Junior Women91裸聊视频檚 Championship was played in Fort St. John in 1984, in Chilliwack in 1978, and in Vancouver in 1971. Previous B.C.-hosted editions of the Canadian Junior Men91裸聊视频檚 Championship were in 1971 in Kamloops, 1961 in Prince George, and 1951 in Nelson.

Township Mayor Jack Froese wasn91裸聊视频檛 in attendance for the announcement, but welcomed the 91裸聊视频減restigious91裸聊视频� championship and said the community is full of enthusiastic sports fan who are 91裸聊视频渢hrilled to experience curling at this level.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淲e look forward to seeing the top junior curlers in the country put on their best display of skill, teamwork, and dedication as they vie to be named the best in Canada.91裸聊视频�
