* Two top-three finishes on Women’s Curling Tour as lead for Kleibrink

Career Highlights

* Won 2005 Canada Cup as lead for Kleibrink

Quotations

- Keshen, who supported curlers posing nude for a fundraising calendar released in October, on how to increase the game’s revenue.

Noteworthy

* Keshen curled a game-high 86 per cent in the final of the 2005 Canadian curling trials.
