This website published  by Eric Eales. He lives in Kelowna, British Columbia, with his wife Cate and the family poundhound, Sandy. Eric Eales 2005

He played lead with Team Canada Torino gold medallists Gerry Austgarden and Sonja Gaudet through the 2004/5 season, and promoted the first ever International Wheelchair Cashspiel, March 2005 in Kelowna. He is a qualified NCCP Level 1 and a Technical Level 2 coach.

He now devotes his energies to expanding grassroots participation in the sport and despairs that present policies in Canada are inhibiting the prospect of wheelchair curling becoming a popular winter recreation.

He writes a regular column for Sweep Magazine and also publishes an email newsletter that is circulated to more than 500 curlers, coaches, administrators and people interested in wheelchair curling world-wide. You can now receive wheelchair curling news through this site's RSS feed.

If you are interested in ideas for creating or growing a wheelchair curling program, have any questions or comments, or would like to submit a letter or article for inclusion on this site, contact:
