What you don't see in the pictures is how much off ice support and work goes into a qualification like this no matter how small. First and foremost we are grateful for our super spare Helen Strong for being so great out there for us while we were juggling the challenges our team faced this season/Days before and the day of the event. A HUGE Thank you to Gordon Moffat who's been a constant for us off and on the ice. He is our greatest support as a coach and we can't thank him enough for his time with us this year. Thank you to our super Lead Kim Tuor, Fifth Steph Brown and Chelsea Duncan and many other family and friends for being our cheerleaders when they couldn't make it to the event. Thank you to YCA and the Whitehorse Curling Club for hosting and organizing under such terms and restrictions. Last but certainly not least, THANK YOU to our local sponsor support and sponsorship in general. Without these folks and businesses able to support us we wouldn't have been able to play with some of the best equipment and gain experience as a team by going down to Kelowna in November. Congratulations to Kerry and Steph for it is their first time representing at the Scotties - we can't wait to curl with you while representing our home during this very special event. We are so excited and can't wait to curl for the Yukon! #STOH22 #TeamYukon22 #yukoncurling"".
