• FREDERICTON -- The Canadian womens team is unbeaten and playoff-bound at the 2013 world senior and world mixed doubles curling championships Cathy Kings Edmonton rink rolled to a 12-1 win over Austrias Veronika Huber on Thursday to clinch first place in its round-robin pool and a berth in Saturdays semifinals. But later in the day, Canadas mixed doubles team of Robert Desjardins and Isabelle Neron of Saguenay, Que., fell 6-3 to Chinas Yanlong Ma and Xinna Yu to be eliminated from playoff contention. The Canadian women were in total control from the get-go against Austria. Canada (5-0) took two in the first, then stole four in the second, three in the third, two in the fourth and one more in the fifth before Austria (3-2) broke the shutout with one in the sixth. "We seem to be just rolling right along, and it feels good," said King. "The girls are continuing to play well, and it makes my job easier out there." The win extended Canadas streak of womens victories at the event to 48 dating back to 2008. Canada completes its round-robin schedule on Friday against Margie Smith of the United States (3-2). The top two teams in each round-robin pool advance to Saturdays semifinals, with the mens and womens finals set for later in the day. In mixed doubles play, Desjardins and Neron needed a win over China (4-4) to advance to a Friday morning tiebreaker against Russia. Instead, Canada (4-4) gave up steals of one in the first, two more in the second and stolen singles in the fifth and sixth ends. Eight teams will contest the playoffs for the mixed doubles titles, with defending world champions Martin Rios and Nadine Lehmann of Switzerland leading the charge into the final eight with an unbeaten 8-0 record in their nine-team pool. Meanwhile, Rob Armitages Canadian mens team is playoff-bound after a 5-2 win over Swedens Karl Nordlund earlier on Thursday in a battle of unbeaten teams. Sweden finished round-robin play with an 8-1 record, while Canada improved to 7-0 with two more games to play on Friday. <a href="http://www.nflnikeproshop.com/Indianapolis-Colts-zu-90_Andrew-Luck-Jersey-qv-24.html">www.nflnikeproshop.com/Indianapolis-Colts-zu-90_Andrew-Luck-Jersey-qv-24.html</a>;. After an umpires mistake on what should have been the third strike, Aviles lined a single to centre to spark a three-run second inning that gave the Boston Red Sox the lead for good in a 7-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Monday. <a href="http://www.nflnikeproshop.com/Carolina-Panthers-kv-39_Cam-Newton-Jersey-kv-17.html">www.nflnikeproshop.com/Carolina-Panthers-kv-39_Cam-Newton-Jersey-kv-17.html</a>;. That same year, he won a Memorial Cup as the head coach and part owner of the QMJHLs Quebec Remparts. Patrick Roy knows how to win, both as a player and a head coach. Will that translate into success as the new head coach of the Colorado Avalanche? The Avalanche finished with the second lowest point total in the NHL this season so there is plenty of work to do. <a href="http://www.nflnikeproshop.com/Minnesota-Vikings-xl-58_Alan-Page-Jersey-nl-51.html">http://www.nflnikeproshop.com/Minnesota-Vikings-xl-58_Alan-Page-Jersey-nl-51.html</a>;. Channing Frye and Jared Dudley each had 17 points while grabbing nine and eight rebounds, respectively, for the Suns, who got 14 points from Grant Hill. The Suns finished at 40-42 for their first losing season in seven years, and missed the playoffs for the second time in three years. <a href="http://www.nflnikeproshop.com/Washington-Redskins-bn-13_Robert-Griffin-III-Jersey-gr-40.html">www.nflnikeproshop.com/Washington-Redskins-bn-13_Robert-Griffin-III-Jersey-gr-40.html</a>.Y. -- The Toronto Marlies earned their second consecutive North Division title Friday as they downed the host Rochester Americans 4-1 in American Hockey League action. <a href="http://www.nflnikeproshop.com/Cincinnati-Bengals-zp-38_A-J-Green-Jersey-ji-75.html">www.nflnikeproshop.com/Cincinnati-Bengals-zp-38_A-J-Green-Jersey-ji-75.html</a>;. The Predators announced the deal Friday. Vainonen, 19, spent his first season with the Kingston Frontenacs in the CHL, and the native of Finland was fourth among defencemen with 22 points.

LB James Yurichuk and DB/LB Jonathan Hood arrived from B.C. and Hamilton respectively as free agents. LB Akwasi Antwi was acquired from Calgary for the playing rights to 2006 first round pick Dan Federkeil. Key Canadian Departures DE Ricky Foley headed to Saskatchewan as a free agent while DT Adriano Belli and K/P Noel Prefontaine retired. OL Cedric Gagé-Marcoux remains unsigned. In The Pipeline2011 pick OL Tyler Holmes is with the Minnesota Vikings, while 2012 draftee TE Luke Willson just became a fifth round pick of the Seattle Seahawks. DT Cleyon Laing and LB Hervé Tonye-Tonye are 2012 draft picks who should be with Toronto this season. The big question is whether or not the Boatmen will ever see 2010 third overall pick LB Cory Greenwood, who enters his fourth season with the Kansas City Chiefs. Draft NeedsThe club may look to replace veteran backups with promising youngsters on the offensive line. The depth of this draft class at defensive tackle should certainly interest the Argonauts as well. The club is also thin at defensive back and may look to bring in another young Canadian to challenge Anthony Alix for the role of “kicker of the future”. 2013 Draft Selections8th, 17th, 39th, 40th, 44th, 52nd, 60th Early Round Picks (2008-2012)2008: SB Mike Bradwell (13th)2009: DL Étienne Légaré (2nd), WR Matt Lambros (10th)2010: OL Joe Eppele (2nd), LB Cory Greenwood (3rd), K/DB Grant Shaw (11th)2011: OL Tyler Holmes (7th)2012: DL Cleyon Laing (9th) Best Late Round Pick (2008-2012)Hometown hero DB Matt Black was chosen in the sixth round (45th overall) in 2008 and has developed into a cornerstone of the clubs special teams. Quirky Draft FactThe NIC is a pre-draft scouting combine for players who have been overlooked for invitations to the CFL Combine. In each of the first three years of its existence, the Double Blue have used a middle round pick to take a receiver who attended the NIC. All three of those picks, Spencer Watt (18th overall, 2010), Djems Kouamé (18th, 2011), and Quincy Hurst (28th, 2012) remain with the Argonauts. For those keeping track, the top draft eligible receiver at this years NIC was 63” Stephen Adekolu of Bishops...but the Argos dont currently have any selections in Rounds 3 and 4. ' ' '
