Pinty’s to become title sponsor for Grand Slam of Curling

The Grand Slam of Curling is pleased to announce Pinty’s has reached a three-year agreement with Sportsnet to become the title sponsor for our series.

The deal starts January 1, 2015 and runs through the 2018 season as the series will be called the Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling.

Skip Glenn Howard was thrilled when he heard the news Wednesday.

“Pinty’s has become one of the biggest sponsors in curling,” Howard said. “They sponsor a lot of teams, which is great for them to get involved in our game and it’s fantastic news because they’re a great company.”

Pinty’s will also aid with the in-venue sponsorship such as rinkboards, in-ice logos and on-site activities including the creation of the Pinty’s Pub and Grill Zone, a special VIP section of the arena where fans can mix and mingle with their favourite curlers.

“None of this would happen without companies like them so that’s just huge for curling and it’s awesome to have companies like them on board,” said skip Chelsea Carey. “We couldn’t do it without them so thank goodness for that support. They’re a phenomenal company and well-run and we’re really excited that they’re going to be on board.”
