BuzzAndSting Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The list can be found here. The list of soccer players begins on page 26. Interesting to note that Fraser Aird received $7 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Interesting to note that Fraser Aird received $7 800. That is interesting. Should professional athletes be receiving these funds? Does Hockey Canada give money to NHL/AHL players? Anyway, I hope we can take this as a sign that Fraser is indeed in the Canadian ranks for the U20 and Olympic programs. If not, the CSA have some 'splainin to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Bryce Alderson recieved $10,800 on top of his $118,000 generation adidas contract? (which I understand is now over because he was released) That seems crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king1010 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Some of those Curlers on that list make a prettty hefty amount at Briers Scotties and skins games as well. Are they considered amateur? Not sure if some of them should be receiving funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile#1 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Does the government not know that some of these athletes are on professional contracts. I find it a bid odd when they keep on saying that we don't have the resources to do this that and we are giving money to athletes who are considered professional I just don't get it, what a joke.

Levi Oakey Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Interesting that Nathan Ingham is on that list. Has he made any national team camp? Didn't think he was really on the radar. Same goes for Ricky Gomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, it's more for people participating at World Championships or Olympics where they give those grants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but they still have jobs. They are not full-time curlers. Some are, but most have a second job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzAndSting Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ya crazy how PROFESSIONAL players might expect to earn income. What's this world coming to. This money is designed to assist athletes who forgo work to train, not athletes earning twice the national average income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
