Jim Armstong makes the list of six Paralympians to watch in today's Globe & Mail. ""We are the defending champions from 2006. When you're dealing with curling, and talking Canada, it's like saying you're a hockey player. I'd say you're looking at disappointment if you're not looking at a gold medal. I call wheelchair curling the 'roller derby' of the sport. We don't have the big weight-hits or the sweeping. It's much more interesting, strategically. The able-bodied game is so sterile, with the perfect rocks and the players so good ... they had to change the rules to make it interesting."

Armstrong continues to be our best (and well publicized) ambassador.
Congratulations
LET'S HOPE THE PUBLICITY CONTINUES.
He was on CBC RADIO THIS MORNING, AS WELL, EXTOLLING THE AVAILABILITY OF WHEELCHAIR CURLING FOR ALL CHAIR USERS
Just saw him on CTV, good clip
Jim does put the right spin on linking the able-bodied game to wheelchair curling....obviously something no one else could (or would) do.
Remember, Jim has played the likes of kevin Martin and the Howards at Briers in the past.
And played Stoughton, as well
