Former World Champion Jeff Stoughton has nothing but good things to say about Portage La Prairie and the job the host committee has done staging the 2018 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Trials.

"Portage has always been fantastic, they run great events," said Stoughton who is Curling Canada's Program Manager for Mixed Doubles. "Canad Inns stepping up and Stride Place, they made this place look awesome."

Stoughton also praised the volunteers noting that they made this event possible.

"I think they had over 240 volunteers and they filled it within a few days. It's just been phenomenal so we can't thank the volunteers enough - the host committee for getting this thing organized and putting on a wonderful show and great facility and great ice - it's just been fantastic. No complaints from the curlers at all."

The winner of the Trials will represent Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics next month in PyeongChang, South Korea.
