My Take
What draws me to Colleen Jones is the quiet ferocity behind curling excellence. Two world titles and an unprecedented four straight Canadian championships are not flukes; they are the product of a mind that thrives under pressure on the ice. I admire how she carried that same competitive intelligence into journalism and broadcasting, proving her sharpness off the sheet too. People who win across different arenas tend to share a certain backbone, and she clearly had it. Learning of her passing in 2025, I find myself reflecting on how rare it is to dominate a sport so thoroughly. She earned her place in Canada's sports memory.
