Haweater Kyle Chandler, a constable with the Greater Sudbury Police Service is a member on the curling rink that is representing the Northern Ontario Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) at the Canadian Police Curling Championships.
“We have the same team as last year,” said Mr. Chandler, who plays vice on the rink, and is a detective investigator and part of the intelligence bomb/explosive disposal unit, as well as skip Charlie Robert, a constable with the Sault Ste. Marie OPP, Constable Nick Servant of the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service and Steve Meunier, a sergeant with the South Porcupine OPP.
“We have been to the nationals three times previously in St. Johns’ Newfoundland, Halifax Nova Scotia, and last year in Levi, Quebec where we qualified for the playoffs,” Mr. Chandler shared. This year’s event takes place in Whitby from April 6-13. “We were 9-2 in last year’s Canadian championship.”
The Roberts rink, which Mr. Chandler is a part of, won the Northern Ontario provincial championship in North Bay in January. He also played in the men’s provincials this year with Jordan Chandler (Kyle’s brother) as skip, as well as at an event held in Phoenix, Arizona the week before the men’s provincials.
The Canadian championship will include 12 teams.
