About John Benton:
Curls out of: Four Seasons Curling Club
Curling start: "I began curling with my family at age 6. Almost all of my 11 brothers and sisters have curled at one time or another."
What he enjoys most about curling: "My favorite aspect of the game is the 'team' concept. When four players learn to communicate and trust each other great things can happen."
