ST. JACOBS, Ont. — Home Hardware is the new title sponsor for the Road to the Roar Pre-Trials. The event selects the final two entries in each gender category for the 2017 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings event, which in turn will finalize the lineup of Team Canada at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. “As a Canadian company, we are proud to partner with one of the nation’s most popular and distinctive sports,” said CEO Terry Davis. The Road to the Roar event will gather 14 teams each from the men’s and women’s categories to compete in Summerside, P.E.I., in November, with the Roar of the Rings following in Ottawa in December.
