Thursday night when they welcome the Utah Jazz to the Bradley Center.When Kevin
Martin decided to retire this year, he thought hed have plenty of company. The
dean of Canadian curlers -- with four national titles, a world championship,
both a gold and silver at the Olympics and a record 18 Grand Slams on the World
Curling Tour -- looked around and saw plenty his age or older holding brooms. "I
thought this year there would be a lot of guys retiring," Martin, 47, said
Tuesday. "I thought I would just be one of the many. As it turns out, Im the
only one. Theres nobody else, Im the only guy!" Instead of retiring, other
senior skips have played a game of musical chairs as teams have reformed and
players have moved about the country. And Martin says the desire to secure that
all-important Olympic berth is the reason. "The shuffling I think is completely
because of the Olympics and that curling has become a four-year sport," he said.
Younger teams are looking at skips at or near 50-plus and wondering whether they
have what it takes to compete, not just next season but also down the road. And
those skips who have never won that Olympic berth (as Martin did three times,
failing to earn a medal in 1992) are reluctant to give up while they think
theres still a chance. Manitobas Jeff Stoughton, 50, who has parted ways with
his former team and formed a new one and Ontarios Glenn Howard, 51, who has seen
his squad fragment as well, are cases in point. "Its hard I think for young guys
to be with a 50, 51, 52 or whatever age guy and think four years down the road,"
Martin said. "Thats not easy. "Jeff and Glenn still play brilliantly but will
they in four years? I dont think they can answer that." The result has been a
lot of movement. "Its really exciting. Its probably the most excitement Ive seen
in our sport in a long time," said Martin. "I think the young guys that are
coming up are dealing with it really well by doing all of these shakeups and
trying to figure out how they can get the very, very best team." The latest move
was Kevin Koes former Alberta team, which is the reigning national champion,
picking up former B.C. skip John Morris on Tuesday to take them into key events
next season, including a return trip to the Tim Hortons Brier. Its the first
time the current mens champion will get an automatic ticket without haviing to
win a provincial title.

Jerseys. Two younger teams at the elite level remain intact: Olympic
gold-medallist Brad Jacobs, 28, and his team from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and
Mike McEwen, 33, from Winnipeg. Former Olympic champ Brad Gushue, 33, from
Newfoundland and Labrador has made only one move, returning former teammate Mark
Nichols, who had been curling with Stoughton. After finishing out of the medals
at the world championships, Koe, 39, announced a new team that includes Marc
Kennedy at third, Ben Hebert at lead and Brent Laing at second. Kennedy and
Hebert won Olympic gold with Martin and Laing was a two-time world champion with
Howard. "Those are your top four I think going forward," said Martin of those
four teams. After watching all the moves, though, does Martin have any second
thoughts about his decision to quit the game? "I am so ready. To be honest with
you, I think I was ready after Vancouver," he insists. But Martin recognizes
that had he pulled the plug then, at the age of 43, he might have come out of
retirement. Theres no chance of that now. "Im in a real good spot, Im busy
outside the ice," he said. "Theres tons of stuff going on." First, hes got a new
job as a broadcaster and curling ambassador with Rogers Sportsnet. Then theres
his curling store in Edmonton, part interest in a golf-course development in
Phoenix and his curling academies to run. For Martin, the icing on the cake this
year was going out a winner after being disappointed at the Olympic curling
trials. He beat Jacobs 4-3 in the mens final Sunday to win the Players
Championship in the final tournament of his career, his 18th Grand Slam win on
the professional tour he played a role in developing. "To have the 18th Slam
work out . . . it makes it all that much easier," he said. As for the only thing
he regrets in a lifetime of curling, it was that failure to medal in 1992, when
curling was still an Olympic demonstration sport. He knew he wasnt good enough
to win gold that year. "But then we played the U.S. in the bronze game and thats
a game I think we should have won," Martin said. For one thing, it would have
given him one of each medal. "The one game . . . over all the years that Id like
to have back is that bronze game in 1992," he added.
