The teams qualified for the National Team Program (NTP) based on their standings on the Order of Merit following last season. "The depth of curling talent in our country is amazing, and the international results continue to prove that," CCA chief executive officer Greg Stremlaw said Thursday in a release. "We were the only country in the world to have no team finish outside of the top six in traditional four-player world and Olympic championship events last season, and the National Team Program has played a significant role in those ongoing successes." As part of the NTP, the teams will have funding to cover some competition and training costs. They will also be able to access high-performance resources in the areas of sports science, sports medicine and coaching from either inside or outside of the CCA. "As always, the objective of the National Team Program is to achieve podium results at international competitions, and were excited about the potential of the group of athletes that is part of the NTP for the 2014-15 season to continue to maintain those high expectations," said CCA high-performance director Gerry Peckham. "Thanks to this program, these teams, based on their proven performance levels, will be given every competitive advantage possible to keep Canada contending for international medals." All 12 teams will be participating in the Dec. 3-7 Canada Cup of Curling at Encana Arena in Camrose, Alta. Its the opening event of the CCAs Season of Champions. Rico Carty Braves Jersey .

Malhotra, who played his third game since signing with the Hurricanes on Oct. 31, scored 2:40 into overtime, and Carolina skated off with a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night. Malhotras drive from the slot on a breakaway got past goalie Steve Mason. "I wanted to make sure I got a quick shot off," Malhotra said. "I think it surprised him. We did a lot of good things as a team, and scoring is the icing on the cake. Im just trying to do the little things that make teams successful." The Hurricanes forced overtime after Staal scored with 52.3 seconds left in regulation, with goalie Justin Peters on the bench in favour of an extra skater. "We stuck with our game the whole 60 minutes," Staal said. "For us to rebound, it shows the character in this room that we can keep battling through some tough times. It was nice to see us bounce back after that goal they scored." Philadelphias Scott Hartnell scored his first of the season on a power play with 3:58 left in regulation. But the Flyers couldnt hold on and went to overtime for the first time. "Its nice to score a goal and to get a point, but it obviously lleaves a sour taste in your mouth when they score two goals in less than a couple of minutes," Hartnell said.dddddddddddd "I think we played smart with the puck except for a few shifts, and unfortunately we werent able to get the other point." Peters stopped 28 shots and earned his first win of the season. He made his fifth straight start in place of the injured Cam Ward. "We gave up the late goal, but for us to stay with it was rewarding," Peters said. "We played the right way. We want to use this momentum. It feels good, and weve got to want this again." The Flyers, who have lost three of four, have scored more than two goals only once this season in 14 games. Carolina was 0-of-4 on the power play, including a 5-on-3 advantage that carried over into the third period. Philadelphia, which has the 29th ranked power play in the NHL, went 1 for 4 with a rare man-advantage goal. Mason made a season-high 36 saves on 38 shots, also a season high.
