    the park isn't used as a concert venue that often (like not as often as Canada Life Center or IGF or even the convention centre)

     

    That's the second concert announcement this year. I feel like there have been many years without any other events besides baseball at Global Shaw Blue Cross Park.

    Yeah, tough to be away from young kids every weekend. 

    And, mornings or evenings. It's really like having a second fulltime job. She's done everything, won everything, is the GOAT. Time to enjoy her family.

    Jones has been able to play this long because she's smart and consistent. The physical side has definitely caught up to her. 

    The game can grind you down and playing in bonspiels is grueling. 

    I think about it a lot, of why we don't see older players, but I think it's more physical than you think. Also, eventually, you just can't play that much. To be a top team, you need to play a lot, or win everything you do play, which isn't feasible. 

    Jones' career was stretched out by winning the Scotties so often, she didn't have to win Manitoba each year and then they expanded the size of the pool.
