Wednesday Open 8 Ender

I know what you're thinking. Is Scotty Smith in touch with his devilish side? And who is he trying to scare with that pink demon suit. Well, that's not him but I'm sure Scotty has a devilish side that sneaks through every now and then. But we all have that now don't we? Scotty plays in the Monday Mixed with his wonderful wife, Wendy and also in the Thursday men's. In fact, Scott is part of the Mitchell rink and is, in his own right, a BRCC Club Champion. Plus he's a great guy and an asset to the BRCC. But there were lots of BRCC assets out there last night at the Wednesday Open 8 Ender. In fact, it was an excellent turnout for a stormy Wednesday night.

Ice A: Tom St Jules vs Al Viel. TIE GAME. Big Daddy took on the tough Viel crew and stayed right with them, right to the end. A good night for this squad. They win the "Diggin' In Our Heels" Award.

Ice B: Andrew Roberts vs Warren Neufeld. WIN for Roberts. Wow, the Roberts crew knock off the extremely tough Neufeld Factor. This team sure has come a long way. They have been having great games all year. Natasha Hallet is a natural in this sport. She has not been playing for all that long but she certainly has become a real nice curler. She wins the "Progress Without Roids" Award. Good job by this Roberts squad.

Ice C: John Hammond vs Ryan Hagger. WIN for Hagger. The Hagger crew are always a tough team to get by. As for the Hammond rink, they are back i n the building phase. Perhaps John is distracted and still dreaming of beaches and bananas. He wins the "Send Me Back To The Sun" Award.

Ice D: Hayley Horton vs Vola Roberts. WIN for Horton. I cannot mention enough how impressive the growth of the Bantam girls team has been this year. Their passion for curling is evident every time they go on the ice. If there was a prize for maturity and growth on the ice, it would have to go this popular young team. They win the "Lookin' To Give Back All The Red Bum Awards That We Received" Award. They also win the "We Be At The Club So We Ain't In Trouble" Award. These young ladies are awesome!

So there you have it for another Wednesday night. This league has lots of potential to grow. For those that may have been hesitant to play in the Wednesday Open 8 Ender, you should know that this is a great league and there is room to add teams for next season. We would love to see more teams involved and really grow this league. Curling food for thought.

As for the ice, I'm sure you will all agree that the ice sure has lots of curl these days. Our ice guys have spent alot of time working on our ice and there is lots of curl on all the sheets. What you should know is that our ice guys give it alot of thought and they try different things to keep the ice curling. They should be commended for listening to feedback and working hard on the ice. Great job guys. Thanks alot for your hard work.

Rock On!
