Thursday Mens

If this was where I grew up, you might find an Eaton's Catalogue in that 'Schmidt-house'! But there's no more Eaton's catalogues kickin' around these days and you certainly won't find any at the BRCC! No sir, it's all curling stuff over there. And nobody goes there to read anyway, they go there to curl. And that's just what the men were doing last Thursday as the the Thursday Mens League nears the mid-season mark. Lots of teams hover near the top of the leader board.

Ice B (Tuesday): John Hammond vs Chris Zagar. WIN for Hammond. It's been a pretty good first half for the Zagar crew. They played some good games and had some close finishes. They win the "There's Always The Second Half" Award.

Ice C: Keith Rouselle vs Michel Rivard. TIE GAME. Last week I reported IN ERROR that Brian Tonelli won over the Rivard crew two Thursdays ago. This was incorrect as it was Team Rivard winning that match up. And then a tie against the veteran Molson Exers. Looks like the Rivard rink is stringing some shots together and gaining some momentum. They win the "Ditched The 4 - Cylinder For Some More Horse Power" Award.

Ice A(Thursday): Ben Lemieux vs Al Viel. TIE GAME. The Robb Road Express finish out in a solid position on the leader board. This crew has been on a tear so far this season but for now, they are coasting to the New Year and the second half. They win the "Tryin' To Keep It All Together" Award.

Ice B (Tuesday): Brian West vs Jim Kendrick. WIN for West. With Andrew Roberts at the helm, the West crew jump back in the saddle again. They win the "Cabinet Shuffle" Award.

Ice C: Bob Villeneuve vs Mike Laderoute. WIN for Villeneuve. The Villeneuve squad is a tough team. Nonetheless, they have had ups and downs this first half so I'm thinking this is ma team to watch out for in the second half. But for now, they win the "Roller Coaster" Award.

Ice A (Late): Rick Berthelot vs Dan Berthelot. WIN for Berthelot!!! I just don't know which one but I bet it would have been an interesting game to watch.

Ice B: Dave Mitchell vs Rick Rouselle. WIN for Rouselle. So it was the Posties who derailed the red hot Mitchell crew. But why would it not be the Rouselle crew? They have been having a heck of a season and they have only had one loss so far this season (it was the Villeneuve rink that handed them that loss). If my calculations are right, it might be that it will be the Rick Rouselle rink that will sit at the top of the leader board going into the second half of the season. Great job by these guys. They win the Sittin' At The Top 'O The Heap" Award.

Ice D: Chris Astles vs Craig Roberts. WIN for Astles. The Astles rink have lots of good games. They always seem to have alot of rocks in play which makes them a great team to play against because games with alot of rocks in play are always more entertaining. They win the "Nothing Lacking In Our Strategy" Award.

So that is how it played out for this past Thursday. Three more regular games are scheduled for this week and that will be it until the New Year. With Christmas just around the corner, curling will soon be taking a back seat to the holiday fun. I'm all for the fun but I would mention that it would ruin any one's holidays to be caught for drinking and driving. It is just not worth it on so many levels. Take a cab or bum a ride but don't do the drinking and driving thing. Then we can all meet up at the BRCC in the New Year and pick up exactly where we left off!

Rock On!
