John is here to announce all the locations for next year's Slams, as well as to explain the brand-new Grand Slam of Curling format for the 2026-27 season. We have some new events, some new ways to qualify for them, and we have partnered with a slew of World Curling Tour events to bring a whole new meaning to Tier 2 curling.
