It would be incorrect to describe Keith Williams as a newcomer. His first trip to the Nationals was in 2008 when he played for Team Atlantic in Winnipeg. The following year he played for NS Host when the Nationals were held in Nova Scotia and then he spared for Team NS in Kelowna and was called upon to play when sickness struck one of the players. Keith took last year off from curling when he was part of the NS Wheelchair Basketball team at the Canada Winter Games.
Good luck to Keith and the rest of the Nova Scotia team at Utica.
