The 2014 Travelers All-Star Curling Skins Game was held on January 11 and 12 at The Fenlands Banff Recreation Centre in Banff, Alberta. The event featured a total prize purse of CAD$100,000.
Teams The competition featured players selected based on fan voting from the top ten teams in the Canadian Curling Association's rankings system from the previous year. Fans voted for their favorite players in each position-skip, (third second and lead). The top four players in each category were chosen to compete in the event.
The selected players are listed below: Position Name Skip Brad Gushue Brad Jacobs Jeff Stoughton Kevin Martin Third David Nedohin John Morris Jon Mead Ryan Fry Second Brent Laing Carter Rycroft E. J. Harnden Marc Kennedy Lead Ben Hebert Craig Savill Mark Nichols Ryan Harnden
Roster The teams are listed in draft order by skip. Skips selected their teammates in a snake order, and were not allowed to choose their own teammates unless necessary. The draft was conducted on January 10.
A donation was made to the Banff Community Foundation on behalf of E. J. Harnden, who was selected last among the players.
