With the men’s provincial playdowns starting across the country this week and next, Goldline would like to highlight one of the curlers who will be hoping to gain a berth into the Brier. Marc Kennedy is the second on the team skipped by Kevin Martin. At just 31 years of age, he has an Olympic gold medal, 2 Brier titles and a world championship under his belt. He’s a heavy hitter out on the ice, and is one of the strongest sweepers in the game.
Just the other week, the Edmonton Journal ran a great article on Marc and his brother Glen.
Goldline extends its best wishes to the entire Martin team who begin play for the Alberta title in Leduc on February 6!
