VANCOUVER, BC | SAN DIEGO, CA , April 12, 2021 — The Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling today announced that its season opener has been pushed back one day due to a delay with the world men’s curling championships. Accordingly, the YAREtv international stream service (http://gsoc.yaretv.com) will commence one day later on April 15, 2021. The Humpty’s Champions Cup and Princess Auto Players’ Championship were cancelled last year and the start of this season was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Complying with government health and safety protocols within the hub city, the Humpty’s Champions Cup and Princess Auto Players’ Championship will feature 12 of the top men’s teams and 12 of the top women’s teams based on the world team rankings.
