Team change flu spreading across the pond with Hamilton exit

With all the changes going on with Canadian teams, it seemed only a matter of time before there were changes elsewhere in the world. And the latest comes from Eve Muirhead's bronze-medal winning rink, where Claire Hamilton has announced she's parting ways.

"I would like to thank the girls for the fantastic opportunities and experiences that being part of the team has brought me," she explained. "I'm excited about what the future might hold and will take this summer to investigate what I might do."

Hamilton's departure leaves Muirhead with Anna Sloan and Vicki Adams. The rink has already declared its intent to gear up to the 2018 Olympics.
