The biggest and most important curling event since Kevin Martin won Olympic gold in Vancouver will take place at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg from Dec. 1-8. The Roar of the Rings will determine who will represent Canada at the 2014 Olympic Games in February. For the men, the eight-rink field should bring some intriguing competition with Brier, World and Olympic champions among them. Which rink will emerge to represent Canada in Sochi? Martin, alongside his new third Dave Nedohin, will try to get his Edmonton rink back to the Games to defend their title. John Morris was the vice for Martin back in 2010, but he moved on to join Jim Cotter and his rink from British Columbia, who will also be in Winnipeg. Team Morris, which sees Cotter throws final stones, went undefeated at the Pre-Trails in Kitchener. Shortly after the shakeup, Martin said that teams cant stay together forever and hes happy to have Nedohin on the team. "Obviously in this situation, once the change in our team was inevitable, Dave was obviously our first choice for so many reasons," said Martin. In a somewhat surprising move, Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and Labrador will spare for Martin in Winnipeg. Gushue, the 2006 Olympic champion, failed to qualify for the Trials. Coldwater, Ontarios Glenn Howard will look to cross off another accomplishment in his storied career. The four-time Brier and world champion has yet to qualify for an Olympic Games. Being one of the older skips in the game, at the age of 51, this might be his last chance he has to do it. "Its on my bucket list to get to an Olympics," said Howard, who won the first Grand Slam event of the season in early November. Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie rink are the defending Brier champs and also one of the youngest and fittest squads in curling. Now they want to take the next step. "The Olympics and the Brier for me as far as goals, wanting to win and importance is 50/50. Weve won the Brier; this [Olympics] is the next step. We want this really bad," Jacobs told TSN.ca. "You etch your mark in history when you win the Brier, but I think you do that even moreso when you win an Olympic gold medal." Jeff Stoughton will play in front of a home crowd at the Trials. The 50-year-old Winnipegger is a three-time Brier champion and a two-time world champion. Edmontons Kevin Koe and his foursome is another talented rink looking to appear in the Olympic Games for the first time. The 38-year-old won the Brier and world championship in 2010. He also won the second Grand Slam event - the Canadian Open - earlier this season. Winnipegs Mike McEwen and Ontarios John Epping round out a strong field and hope to surprise at the Trials. So which rink do think has what it takes to win the Roar of the Rings and represent Canada at the Olympic Games in February? As always, its Your! Call. Cedi Osman Jersey .

Tristan Thompson Jersey .Y. -- Major League Soccer has agreed to new measures to protect gay players from discrimination and harassment as a result of meetings with New Yorks attorney general.TORONTO -- One of John Herdmans World Cup goals for 2015 is to field the most resilient and connected team. "This resilience training starts now," Canadas womens soccer coach said. The Canadians face South Korea at Edmontons Commonwealth Stadium on Oct. 30, a friendly that both gives the women a chance to get used to the stadium where theyll open up their World Cup campaign, and tests their resiliency. Average temperatures for Oct. 30 in the Alberta capital range from 0 to 6 C. "The players need to see that it is part of the test to keep themselves focused on the task at hand," Herdman said on a conference call Thursday to announce his preliminary roster. "Im hoping the warm reception of the crowd warms everything up for us; the more people we put in the stadium, the warmer it will be." The Canadian team that will face South Korea features 13 Olympic bronze medallists plus 16-year-old national team rookie Sura Yekka, as Herdman continues to evaluate young talent before the final push to the World Cup. Star striker Christine Sinclair is one of the 13 who captured bronze for Canada at the 2012 London Olympics, while Yekka, a defender from Mississauga, Ont., earned her first call-up to Canadas senior squad after an impressive showing for the national under-20 side. "As a 16-year-old Sura fits the profile of that modern fullback, she ticks a lot of the boxes that were looking for, and I think thats whats exciting," Herdman said. "As I said to the young players when they came into that camp, if youre good enough youre old enough. And this player is someone that looks really exciting and could have a ppromising future.dddddddddddd." Canada, which has three wins and a loss all-time against South Korea, was beaten 3-1 by the Koreans the last time the two teams met, at the Yongchuan Cup tournament in January. Twelve of the 18 players on the current roster played the last time the two countries faced off. Yekka is one of 32 new faces Herdman has had into camp in his quest to field a younger team when Canada hosts the World Cup. He warned there would be growing pains in the early going of what he called a "two-steps-back three-steps-forward" approach. "When you immerse 30-odd new players into a program, no other national teams do that straight after a World Cup, you wont see that happen very often," Herdman said. The game marks the first for the Canadian women at Commonwealth Stadium since a friendly against Germany in 2005. There will be more to come in Edmonton, as Canada will play its opening game of the 2015 FIFA Womens World Cup at Commonwealth. Cold weather or not, the choice of stadium was part of Herdmans World Cup preparation plans, "to get the experience of playing in that opening stadium," he said. Hes hoping Edmontonians will "give us the best chance to experience what its going to be like at the Womens World Cup because bringing the team here, its important that we get a sense of how its going to roll out, hows its going to feel, what all the processes and systems are that weve got to get used to to perform on the big day." Herdman believes South Korea will qualify for the World Cup, and could even be in Canadas group when they play the preliminary round in Edmonton.
