Winnipeg's Jason Gunnlaugson has recruited Adam Casey to throw second stones for his squad next season with Denni Neufeld taking a step back. JonathanBrazeau has the story:
Team Gunnlaugson, ranked 17th in the World Curling Tour’s Order of Merit, sat down after their season ended to discuss their goals for the future. With the team looking to play in more events in order to surge the standings, Neufeld knew how hard they’d have to work and the commitment level proved to be too much for him.
“It was a really tough decision for me because the guys — Gunner, Connor and Alex — are amazing human beings and I had a lot of fun playing with them. Our dynamic I felt was really, really good. I enjoyed being a part of helping them try to put some systems in place to reach the next level regarding sports psychology, fitness, nutrition and stuff like that; Things that I brought to the team that they weren’t doing previously. They’re all going in the right direction and they work so hard.
“We’re finding more and more in this day and age, people need somebody that’s reliable of high quality that they can call on in a pinch because players are getting hurt more, just like wear and tear injuries, and as the season gets longer and longer, it’s definitely good to have some people like that,” Gunnlaugson said. “We used Matt Wozniak once this year for that and he did a lot of sparing.
