Roar of the Rings – Manitoba’s time to shine

View All News

Canadian Sport Centre Manitoba – Manitobans are a force once again at the Roar of the Rings (ROTR) Olympic Trials, with 31 percent of Roar athletes hailing from Manitoba (or competing on Manitoba-based rinks).

Over half of Roar of the Rings teams include at least one Manitoban player, which means 22 Manitoba curlers have a shot to represent Canada at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games.
