"Through this agreement with the Canadian Curling Association, ESPN is making a new and exciting commitment to the sport," said Brian Kweder, senior director of programming and acquisitions, ESPN. "We look forward to delivering these events nationwide to draw out the curling fan in all of us."

"We couldn't be happier to have ESPN on board, and to give curling fans south of the border this opportunity to watch Canada's elite curlers in action," said Canadian Curling Association chief executive officer Greg Stremlaw. "We know there's an appetite in the United States, particularly with snowbirds who spend their winters in warmer weather, Canadians working or attending school south of the border, and the many curling enthusiasts that travel throughout the United States. We're excited that these fans will be able to get their curling fix this season."
