Kelly Knapp, who has skipped just two full seasons, is at the Brier with his Regina-based team.
Knapp’s team includes third Brennen Jones, second Mike Armstrong, and lead Trent Knapp — Kelly’s twin brother — along with alternate Dustin Kidby and coach Brian McCusker.
“It’s honestly the most meaningful part of this process for me, is being able to do this with ,” Kelly says. “I’ve thought in the past, ‘What if I make it to the Brier and he wasn’t doing it with me?’ It didn’t make me feel all that good. It still would have been special, but the fact we can do it together honestly beats everything.”Article content
Jones and Armstrong both have previous Brier experience — the former in 2011, with Pat Simmons, and the latter in 2012 with Scott Manners — and Kidby and McCusker have been there multiple times. The Brier began Friday, and Knapp plays his first game on Saturday afternoon against Manitoba’s Matt Dunstone. And then they’ll see where the week takes them, while representing a province that hasn’t won a Brier since Rick Folk did it in 1980, before Knapp was born.Article content
