Thursday Mens

Vegas Baby! This is it, the time has finally come. With 11 other BRCC members in tow, this curling chronic is headed to Sin City for the Continental Cup of Curling. We purchased our packages last February so it has been quite a wait. But the waiting is over and now I'm stoked, big time! And I'm not the only one stoked. There is a club full of stoked curlers every Thursday night for the Mens League. And there is no secret as to why they are stoked. it is an excellent league...great games and great comradry. And as Thursday marks a nearing to the end of the week, it is always a perfect day to get out there and hang with your curling pals and immerse yourself in the Roaring Game.

Rick Berthelot vs Chris Zagar. WIN for Berthelot
Dan Berthelot vs Keith Rouselle. WIN for Rouselle
Francois Lemieux vs Al Viel. WIN for Lemieux
Michel Rivard vs Bob Villeneuve. WIN for Villeneuve
Tod Swan vs Andrew Roberts. WIN for Roberts
Jeff Mitchell vs Tom St Jules.  WIN for Mitchell
Glen Austin vs Chris Astles. WIN for Austin
Jim Kendrick vs Ben Lemieux. WIN for Kendrick
John Hammond vs Dave Mitchell. WIN for Mitchell


STILL GOIN' STRONG: The Molson Exers. Team Rouselle is having one heck of a season. These guys have been together for a long time  but this is their best year by far that I can remember. Great job guys.

PULLED IT OUT: Andrew Ludgate. At the helm (Jeff Mitchell was absent) and taking on the tough Family Jules, Andrew stayed with it and made a big shot in the end to win it. Awesome.

EXPONENTIAL IMPROVEMENT: Andrew Roberts. This guy just keeps getting better and better. He has an excellent understanding of the game and he makes alot of shots. This guy has certainly come into his own. BTW, I prefer the pony tail over the samurai look.

HAMPERED BY SHOULDER ISSUES: Benny Lemieux. It's been a tough go of late for Ben. He has an issue with his muscles in his shoulder and it makes it hard to throw. But like the true curling chronic that he is, Ben gets out there and toughs it out. Hopefully, this shoulder thing works itself out for him.

STILL TOP DOGS: Team Mitchell. Another stellar season for the Mitchell squad. Will they ever run out of gas?

EXCELLENT LEAD: Scott Smith. Scott Smith pays lead for Dave Mitchell. His game is real solid. He has excellent weight control and sets up alot of ends for his team.

AWESOME SUPPORT: Cameco. This company is so generous and supportive for lots of organisations around town. The BRCC thanks you. And a big thanks to the employees of Cameco who participate in the club. Several of which lend their trades skills to help out around the club. Like I have said many times...a great company with great people in its employ.

So that's it. The next post I make, I'll be making from the Continental Cup. I'll try to keep you posted as to what is going on there and share our experience with you. BTW: they have a patch and live entertainment every night. Awesome!

Rock On!
