Events & Sponsorships
JVC is proud to sponsor Randy Ferbey, Team Glenn Howard and our new member Team Kelly Scott for the 2009 - 2010 Curling Season.
In the fall of 1991, JVC sponsored its first competitive curling team, the Mike Harris Team from Toronto. They were a young, hungry squad that gained in experience year after year. The foursome, with skip Mike Harris, 3rd Richard Hart, 2nd Collin Mitchell and Lead George Karrys went on to a stellar career, capped by winning the Olympic Silver Medal at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan.
In 1999, JVC committed support to Team Kim Gellard, thus forming one men's team and one women's team under JVC sponsorship.
In the fall of 2001, JVC sponsored Team Kelley Law from British Columbia, with 3rd Julie Skinner, 2nd Georgina Wheatcroft, Lead Diane Nelson and 5th player Cheryl Noble. The team enjoyed an outstanding season, including winning the Olympic Bronze Medal for Canada at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Now in its 19th year of supporting Canadian curling and its athletes, JVC supports three teams in the 2009-2010 Olympic season. These teams regularly compete on the World Curling Tour, as well as in high-profile made-for-TV events such as the skins games and the the Continental Cup.

Marcel Rocque
When Randy Ferbey, David Nedohin, Scott Pfeifer and Marcel Rocque joined forces in 1999, nobody could have imagined how quickly the foursome would establish themselves as one of the most dominant curling teams in the world.
This Edmonton-based team has an impressive record of achievement that has eluded every curling team worldwide. In 2005 they won their fourth Brier title in five years, as well as their third World championship in that time. They have won Canada Cups, Continental Cups, TV skins games and were recently voted the Alberta curling team of the century.
Team Ferbey played in the Canadian Olympic Trials and lost in the playoff. Their next competition will be Canada Cup in Kamloops, B.C. (February 26 - March 2, 2010)

Now in their fifth season together, Team Howard have climbed to the pinnacle of the curling world… and they’re not finished yet.
Team Howard made it double world gold for JVC in 2007 by winning the Ford World Curling Championship last April, defeating Germany’s Andy Kapp 8-3 in the final at Rexall Place in Edmonton.
In addition to the world title, the team finished in the top three on the World Curling Tour and won nuerous tournaments around the world.
This is a team with vast experience, as skip Howard is now a three-time Canadian and world champion, Hart an Olympic silver medallist plus Canadian and world champion, and the youthful tandem of Laing and Savill are both previous world junior champions in addition to reigning world champions.

A new addition of Jacquie Armstrong at lead for this season has rejuvenated and re-energized long time teammates Kelly Scott, Jeanna Schraeder and Sasha Carter, along with Coach Gerry Richard. Kelly, Sasha and Jeanna are playing in their 8th season together and have had many successes along the way.
2007 marked a banner season for Team Scott, as they repeated as Scotties Tournament of Hearts Champions and then improved upon 2006’s World Bronze medal by winning Gold at the 2007 World Championships in Aomori, Japan. They hope these experiences will serve them well as they pursue their ultimate goal of representing Canada at future World and Olympic Championships.

TEAM GLENN HOWARD
After a heart-breaking loss in the final at the Canadian Olympic Trials in Edmonton in December 2009, Team HOWARD regrouped and focused on the Ontario Provincial Championship in Napanee, Ontario. With an undefeated record of 12-0, Team Howard captured the Ontario Provincial Championship title early February 2010. The team set a record, recording their 5th Provincial title in a row. Glenn Harward, Richard Hart, Brent Laing and Craig Savill are now looking ahead to purse their second national championship - The 2010 Tim Horton's Brier in Halifax, N.S. (March 6 - 14, 2010) and World Championships in Italy (April 3 - 11, 2010). The Team previously won the 2007 Tim Horton's Brier and Ford World Championship.
As of January 31, 2010, Team Howard remains the leader in the CTRS ranking, OOM (World Rankings) and the 09/10 money chase ranking.
JVC, as the proud sponsor of Curling and Team Howard, congratulate their success in the provincial championship and wishing them Good Luck in the upcoming Brier in March 2010.
