Canadian Press Team of the Year!

Congrats to Local hero Mark Nichols and his Team Gushue curling rink for being named CP Team of the Year for 2006. They were the Olympic Champions and beat out The Canadian Junior Hockey Team, Women's Olympic Hockey team and The Edmonton Oilers for this honor. They join Steve Nash (CP male athlete of the year) and Cindy Klassen (CP Female athlete of the Year) as Canada's best for 2006. Way to go Mark - not to bad for a kid from Labrador City.
Mark actually played on my soccer team one summer and I curled on the same team with his dad.
