Rolf Arfwidsson
Rolf Arfwidsson (11 May 1928 – 2 August 2021) was the skip of the Norrköpings CK, a Swedish curling team, during the 1962 Scotch Cup, the first Swedish team to play at the World Curling Championships. (look for "Arfwidsson, Rolf") Arfwidsson and his team won his lone Swedish Men's Curling Championship in 1962, and represented Sweden at the 1962 Scotch Cup World Championships. There, they lost all their games. One factor that was to their disfavour was the fact that the Swedes were used to a rule where they had to release the rock before the tee-line, which was not the rule in international play. Arfwidsson would not win another Swedish men's championships, but won a national seniors championship in 1975 and a national masters title in 2012. He was a board member of the Swedish Curling Association (SCA) from 1964 to 1970 and SCA chairman from 1966 to 1970.

Canadian Red Ensign 1957-1965
Canadians () are people identified with the country of Canada. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Canadians, many (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being ''Canadian''. Canada is a multilingual and multicultural society home to people of groups of many different ethnic, religious, and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of Old World immigrants and their descendants. Following the initial period of French and then the much larger British colonization, different waves (or peaks) of immigration and settlement of non-indigenous peoples took place over the course of nearly two centuries and continue today. Elements of Indigenous, French, British, and more recent immigrant customs, languages, and religions have combined to form the culture of Canada, and thus a Canadian identity and Canadian values. Canada has also been strongly influenced by its linguistic, geographic, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
