After losing the second and third games of the tournament, he said the team had to refocus to ensure they won the remaining games. "If you make one little mistake sometimes and the other team capitalizes, that's all it takes. Lots of good competition out there," Sonego said. The team of Dean, Sonego, second Rick Bell, lead Lola Graham, alternate Aimee Epp and coach Doug Gelmich practice out of the Fort William Gardens arena in Thunder Bay. Sonego said the team has been playing together for about ten years. "It takes a lot of work to put the team together and stay together," he said.

Sonego said that while the Fort William Gardens is fully accessible for wheelchair users, there currently aren't many wheelchair curlers in the area.
