ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Olympic curling champion Brad Gushue and his rink are receiving another honour.
The City of St. John’s has decided to name several streets after the Newfoundland rink.
Deputy Mayor Dennis O’Keefe said Monday a road in St. John’s will be renamed Gold Medal Drive.
Several streets branching from the drive will be named after each of the curlers — Gushue, Mark Nichols, Russ Howard, Jamie Korab and Mike Adam, as well as their coach Toby MacDonald.
The Gushue rink of St. John’s became the first Olympic champions from Newfoundland when they won the men’s curling gold medal last month at the Turin Games.
