When Grande Prairie's Casey Scheidegger rink steps onto the ice at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts this weekend in Pentiction, they'll have one local company in their corner.

Ryan Ikebuchi who own's JRRR BBQ, is launching a special "Team Scheidegger" BBQ sauce to celebrate the event.

Ikebuchi says the money raised from its sale goes to the Sandra Schmirler Neo-Natal Foundation.

"A 100 per cent of all proceeds go to the charity. It's a commemorative thing. We're not in it to do anything by scream it from the hilltops that they achieved this goal, this lifetime achievement goal."

Ikebuchi says his cousin married the team's second, Jessie Scheidegger during the summer, which is why they're behind them.

Scheidegger and her Alberta Champion rink, open the round robin Saturday, January 25 against Ontario's Hollie Duncan.
