Before this year, that was the last time a New Zealand rink had advanced to the worlds.
“If you can imagine a town with 100 people that has a four-sheet curling rink and a bigger district — 50 kilometres square with a population of 3,000-4,000 — that’s the heartland of curling in New Zealand,” De Boer said. “Ninety per cent of the people connected to curling are from that region, so we’re picking from a pretty small demographic.”
