“Curling teams pick their own players. You have to be able to play with people you get along with on and off the ice. We like to think of ourselves as equals out there. Each of us could play any position. Our philosophy is simple — be patient on the ice and have fun.”
Cassie Johnson
“This a great opportunity to be around the game. Obviously, there will be a little bit more responsibility. As (the) hitting coach (last season), I was kind of lurking in the shadows whereas the manager has to deal with hitters, the pitchers, the front office and the fans. It's a bigger responsibility, but one I accept and look forward to.”
Aaron Nieckula
“They played well. There wasn't much we could do... I think we're a good team but in curling anything can happen. One shot can make or break the game.”
Jamie Johnson
“It's an incredible day for wheelchair curling in Canada. Our team played hard throughout the whole game. Now we can set our sights on repeating in our home country in 2010.”
Chris Daw
“Curling doesn't make you fit, ... but you have to be fit to curl.”
Jimmie Johnson
“The curling team had not fared well to that point. There was no definitive end in sight, and we had to make a decision. Had we stayed with the curling match, we would have missed the first five minutes of the hockey game.”
Brian Walker
“This season was probably my worst season of curling ever. I just wasn't playing with any confidence and we just didn't have any chemistry. Something like this will certainly give my confidence a boost and I hope it brings out the best in me.”
