Colleen had several team mates

Colleens curling career has spanned from about 1978 to the present seniors teams.. ( 38 years ?)
not likely all her team mates.. including mixed etc.. could be named

Team Schmirler won Olympic gold and 3 world golds.. they were together about 10 years

They were inducted to Canada's Sports HoFame in 2000.. the very sad year of Sandra's passing.
