After a heroic showing from the hometown team and more than 122,000 tickets sold at the Tim Hortons Brier, Curling Canada is singing praise for the City of St. John's. "We knew St. John's was going to put on a show," he said. Al Cameron, communications director for Curling Canada, said the national body is interested in coming back to St. John's, despite challenges in hosting a major event here. For the past eight days, people from all over Canada have watched something grow in St. John's. Devin Heroux, a reporter for CBC Sports, has been to many Briers, but never one quite like St. John's.
