With which sport is Heather Nedohin primarily associated?
Heather Nedohin (born Heather Godberson; July 15, 1975) is a Canadian curler from Sherwood Park, Alberta. She is a former Canadian and World Junior champion, two-time Tournament of Hearts Champion and a two-time World bronze medalist. She is married to three time World Champion David Nedohin.
Curling is a sport in which players slide stones on a sheet of ice towards a target area which is segmented into four concentric circles. It is related to bowls, boules and shuffleboard. Two teams, each with four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones, also called rocks, across the ice curling sheet towards the house, a circular target marked on the ice. Each team has eight stones, with each player throwing two. The purpose is to accumulate the highest score for a game; points are scored for the stones resting closest to the centre of the house at the conclusion of each end, which is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones. A game usually consists of eight or ten ends.
In 2015 Heather Nedohin announced she would be stepping back from the game and that Chelsea Carey, formerly of Manitoba, would be taking over her current team.
In 2018, Heather Nedohin is a stay-at-home mom and a graduate of Grande Prairie Regional College and North Peace High School. Since the spring of 2014 she has been business manager of the Sherwood Park Curling Club, in Sherwood Park, AB.
