Published: Wednesday, July 11, 2007EDMONTON — Not so fast there, folks. The 2009 Olympic curling trials haven’t been handed to Edmonton just yet.
Despite a published report yesterday that the Canadian Curling Association had awarded the trials to Edmonton, Warren Hansen, the CCA’s man in charge of events, said that while there’s some truth to the report, “we’re a long ways from suggesting Edmonton is a slam dunk.”
Hansen is in Edmonton for negotiations about the possible use of Rexall Place for the event, which would take place in December 2009, just months before the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He said a lot of loose ends still have to be settled, including negotiations with the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers about use of Rexall Place and finding facilities for various other activities associated with the event.
