Former Randy Ferbey team member Dave Nedohin has joined Edmonton skip Kevin
Martin and given his bid at winning the Olympic curling trials new life.
Rod Gilbert Jersey . "It puts us as one of
the top teams again instantly," Martin said from Edmonton on Wednesday after the
pair made their announcement. "This is an exciting time for team Martin."
Nedohin replaces John Morris, who surprised many when he departed the Martin
foursome late last month after seven years. Morris then announced he was joining
B.C. skip Jim Cotters 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. His shot-making ability was at the top of the list. Nedohin joined
Ferbey in 1997 and throwing final rocks helped win four Briers and three world
championships. But he wasnt an easy catch. After a year skipping his own rink
following Ferbeys retirement, Nedohin suggested last month he was going to step
back while wife Heather focused on her own Olympic trials bid. Then came Morriss
announcement, but initially Nedohin said he declined Martins offer to return to
the game. Then his parents offered to help out with the child care while both he
and Heather try to qualify for the Olympics. The Roar of the Rings, where the
berth will be decided, will be held in Winnipeg (Nedohins home town, and Morriss
coincidentally) in December. The location was another bonus for Nedohin. There
is always a period of acclimatization when curlers join new rinks, but Martin
says after so many years watching each other, even curling together in the odd
celebrity event, Martin sees it being relatively short with Nedohin. "I bet weve
played 100 times if not more than 100 times," he said. "Theres not going to be
too much of a learning curve, thats for sure." Martin also downplayed the
changes which have raised some eyebrows in the curling world, if only for their
timing with the trials ahead. "Teams just cant stay the same forever, sports
just dont work that way." Martin laughed when asked if he would surrender skip
rocks. Nedohin will be throwing third stones, something he hasnt done a lot of
in competitive curling since 1997. But he says hes looking forward to it, plus
the chance to sweep more, and Martin says Nedohins sweeping ability is just one
more reason why hes such a good fit.
