MOOSE JAW, Sask. Mattia De Sciglio Jersey . -- Moose Jaw, Sask., will host Canadas top womens curlers for the 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The Canadian Curling Association announced the site Wednesday for the Feb. 14-22 event at Mosaic Place, marking the first time the Saskatchewan city will host the Canadian womens championships. Its not the first time Mosaic Place has hosted world class curling, though -- the 2012 Capital One Canada Cup of Curling broke attendance records for the event at the 4,465-seat facility. "The 2012 Canada Cup was a shining example of a city supporting our sport and our curlers," CCA CEO Greg Stremlaw said in a release. For the first time, there will be a pre-qualifying event that will determine the final 12-team field for the Scotties. Fifteen teams -- the 14 member associations and the defending champion from the 2014 Scotties -- will be eligible to compete, meaning Northern Ontario will make its Scotties debut in Moose Jaw. Four teams will compete in the pre-qualifying round just before round-robin play begins to determine the final two entries. Moose Jaw has played host to several other major curling events, including the 1983 world womens championship, the 1979 world junior mens championship and the 1994 Canadian senior mens and womens championships. The 2014 Scotties Tournament of Hearts is Feb. 1-9 in Montreal.

And yet the 20-year-old Girgensons doesnt consider himself worthy of being included among the leagues elite.Its a little bit embarrassing and funny at the same time, Girgensons said, before the Sabres hit the road for a two-game swing that concludes Tuesday at Detroit. It came out of nowhere. I know people know me back home, but I didnt think it was going to go that far. Thats like crazy far.As of Tuesday, Girgensons has a league-leading 1,291,186 votes, with about 80 per cent coming from Latvia.The only limit on voting is fans can use the same device no more than 10 times a day.Chicagos Patrick Kane (815,990 votes) is second among forwards, followed by teammate Jonathan Toews (803,034).Blackhawks players hold down the three other remaining spots eligible to be selected by vote. Chicagos Duncan Keith (790,922) and Brent Seabrook (641,736) lead defencemen, and Corey Crawford (714,471) leads goalies.With voting set to close Jan. 1, Girgensons is on the verge of clinching a spot to play in the All-Star Game at Columbus on Jan. 25.If I have to, its awesome said Girgensons, the only Latvian currently playing in the NHL. Itll be satisfaction to the fans, really.Selected in the first-round of the 2012 draft, Girgensons has established himself as a skilled two-way forward, and part of the rebuilding teams young core.Girgensons leads Buffalo (13-18-3) with nine goals and is second with 18 points.That puts him well off the league-leading pace. Dallas centre Tyler Seguin is first with 25 goals, while Philadelphias Jakub Voracek tops the pooints list with 44. Alex Sandro Jersey. abres coach Ted Nolan said Girgensons has nothing to be ashamed of.I wouldnt be embarrassed at all, Nolan said. The whole nations cheering for him, which is great to see. So he should feel a lot of pride.Nolan knows plenty about Girgensons and Latvia. He spent the previous four years coaching Latvias national team, which included Girgensons.Hes come a tremendous long way in a very short period of time, Nolan said.In an email, Latvian Ice Hockey Federation media manager Maris Gorbunovs wrote the support Latvians have shown Girgensons has been spontaneous, and a reflection of their passion for hockey and a native son.Canada and USA has many NHL players but Latvia at the moment has only one, Gorbunovs wrote. It is not an initiative of some separate group or segment. It is an achievement of all Latvian fans.Gorbunovs estimated at least 11,000 Latvians travelled to Minsk, Belarus, to attend last years World Championship tournament. Former Latvian NHLers include goalie Arturs Irbe, now a Sabres assistant, and defenceman Sandis Ozolinsh.Growing up in Riga, Girgensons was a fan of the Kontinental Hockey League team based in the Latvian capital.Girgensons was 15 when he moved to North America to play for the former Vermont-based Green Mountain Glades of the Eastern Junior Hockey League. He then spent two seasons with Dubuque of the U.S. Hockey League, before committing to play at Vermont.Girgensons turned down a college career for the chance to play pro after being drafted by Buffalo.I never would have said at age 20 that Id be in my second year in the NHL, Girgensons said.Soon enough, he might be an all-star.Girgensons laughed when reminded that Latvia, a country with a population of about 2 million people, accounts for about 1 million of his vote total.Yeah, Girgensons said, smiling.
