Wire article announcing the theatrical release of Curl Power, a documentary following five teen curlers from Maple Ridge (team “4KGirl$” – Savannah Miley, Brook Aleksic, Ashley Dezura, Amy Wheatcroft, Hannah Smeed). Explains the film weaves curling “rocks and rings into a coming-of-age story” addressing teen issues (ambition, anxiety, body image, relationships) alongside their goal of winning a Canadian junior championship. Notes it debuted at Hot Docs 2024 and is being released in 73 Cineplex theatres across Canada on Jan 24 2025. Quotes Hannah Smeed (“Teenagers are weird… similar to curling, nobody gives it a second look, but curling is cool.”) and Ashley Dezura on seeing the film and realizing the value of their story. Highlights that the girls’ moms (Diane Dezura, Georgina Wheatcroft, Shannon Joanisse) are former champions who coach them, adding a legacy layer. Portrays Curl Power as more than a sports movie – a poignant coming-of-age tale that could change perceptions of curling and teenage girls.
