A message from Peter Inch
"Rich and I met in Las Vegas while attending the World Curling Federation Congress, serving as Chairman of our respective organizations. A friendship was formed that led to the formation of the CanAm Cup to foster fellowship and tradition of this great game as well as showcasing our great countries. With the formation of the tour it was only right that Rich and I offer the beautiful Richard A Lepping and Peter Inch trophy. Now known as the Chairmen's Cup. It's our hope that this trophy will be played for generations and stand for what's right and good about our sport. USA took the inaugural CanAm Cup of Curling in 2019 but Canada hopes to bring it back home in Nov 2024."
