Lank Returns to the World Financial Group Continental Cup of Curling

Patti Lank, one of the most successful competitors in United States curling history, will be wearing Team North America colours for a third time at the 2012 World Financial Group Continental Cup of Curling – January 12 – 15 in the Langley Events Centre.

The American skip will be joined by Nina Spatola, Caitlin Maroldo and Molly Bonner for the eighth edition of this unique competition, with Team North America holding a 4-3 edge over Team World. “You Gotta Be There” when the world’s elite compete in one of international curling’s most entertaining events.  Click here to get your seats right now.
