Lighting a Fire: Why Grant Hardie Left Team Mouat

We said we would only be back in case of emergency, and there's no question the #1 team in the world undergoing a change is such a case. Grant Hardie joins John to discuss shaking up the Scottish curling scene, as he moves to skip his own rink with Ross Whyte throwing fourth stone, and Robin Brydone goes the other way to join Team Mouat. After nine years, two Olympic silvers, and two World titles, Grant explains why it was time to move on from Team Mouat, and his desire for a new challenge reigning above the easy choice to stick with the program. We discuss why it was the right time, why he wants to return to skipping, the difficult phone call with his cousin Hammy McMillan, and Ross Whyte's emergence on the world stage allowing for this move. It's a conversation you won't want to miss. This episode is brought to you by Goldline Curling. For all of your curling needs, please visit goldlinecurling.com
