USA Curling CEO Dean Gemmell added, “Mimi and Sean Stevinson, and their staff team at Rock Creek Curling, have been excellent partners for championship events. We are truly fortunate to have them as a Member Club, and the metro Denver curling community is very supportive as well. I know our Mixed Doubles teams will have great playing conditions, and the atmosphere in the venue will be terrific.”
