Five Canadians that have been World Champions
(From L-R):
Crystal Curtis, Ed Neeb, Sandy McLachlin-Janssens, Steve Hohl and Ross Stevenson.
This picture was taken in 1993 in Stoney Creek, Ontario. It showed 5 of the 6 Canadians who, at that time, had won a World Title in the past (the only one missing was Elmer Hohl who passed away in 1987).
