Canadian champions heading to worlds

Following his massive STOH and Brier preview episodes, From The Hack host Frank Roch is back with vital curling conversations.

Kerri Einarson and teammate Shannon Birchard share the mic as they discuss their recent fourth consecutive team victory at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts—the fifth straight title for Birchard. They also provide a look into their world championship mindset in advance of their flights to Sweden.

The episode concludes with Rick Lang, the multiple Brier champion who has coached Canadian teams at world championships and Olympic Games. Lang also coaches his daughter’s Thunder Bay squad skipped by Krista McCarville, and he doesn’t hesitate to answer Frank’s tough questions about the team’s third-place performance in Kamloops and what the future may hold.

The veteran also talks about the task facing David Murdoch, the Scotsman who will soon be heading Canada’s high-performance program.
