The on-going COVID-19 pandemic has forced CURLSASK to change host locations for the upcoming SaskTel Tankard Men’s Provincial Championship, it was announced today.
The event, originally scheduled at the Co-operators Centre in Regina, Sask., from Feb. 9-13, has been relocated to the Whitewood Community Centre in Whitewood, Sask. The 2022 SaskTel Tankard will take place on the original scheduled dates.
“Curling has a long-standing tradition of teams winning their way to represent their province or territory at Nationals,” said CURLSASK Executive Director Ashley Howard. “The CURLSASK team continues to do everything in our power to preserve the integrity of the championship and determine our Team Saskatchewan Brier representatives safely on the ice, despite the relentless challenges of the pandemic.”
The decision to move this year’s SaskTel Tankard to Whitewood was reached jointly between CURLSASK and the Regina Host Committee due to the risk of hosting a large scale event in an urban center location. Organizers felt the relocation was the safest option to allow the competition to be contested.
