Mitchell / Lemieux Final in the Mens

The Thursday Newfie Bullet. Red Bum Award for last night's performance in the semi-final of the Mens Club Championship. And so it becomes Team Mitchell going up against the Robb Road Express. This is a repeat of last year's final. Both are deserving teams and it would be hard to predict the outcome. The Mitchell squad are the defending club champions but the Robb Road Express have been formidable this year and could easily take it. One way or another, this outcome will be decided tonight. Looking for some entertainment, check out this game. It'll be a good one! I have pals on either side in this match so I cannot root for one team over the other so that said, good luck to both teams.

Meanwhile, the Monday / Wednesday Leagues finished off last night with some curling and some snacks. Excellent vittles! Michel Rivard showed up with some kind of wieners in tangy sauce. It was awesome! Michel not only knows ice...he can cook too!

The BRCC Belles will wrap it up tonight as they play their final games. They will have their banquet on April 4 to finish out for the year. Tickets are available at the bar or speak to Jamie Ellmore, Paula Sommers or Jennifer Stanton Smith.

The Mens League will be having a pizza and wings night on Thursday, March 28 @ 6:30 pm. Come play some cards and/or hang out with the guys.

The BRCC AGM was yesterday and a new board was elected. The directors for this upcoming year will be: Kristy Blanchett, Christie Hagger, Lorraine Liss, Christine Scholburg, Al Viel, Glen Austin, Bob Villeneuve, Ryan Hagger and Michel Rivard. It will be nice to see some new faces on the board. It is always good to have fresh faces and fresh ideas coming to the table. Thanks to the outgoing board members!


At the Women's Worlds, Canada sits 3 - 2 and as I type this, are playing against Italy. They will most likely win this game but they are uncharacteristically tentative, I find. They do not look completely comfortable out there and as we approach mid-week, it will be imperative that they settle down and get to the job at hand. The Homan rink is an awesome squad. They will have to bear down though as they are meeting some tough teams coming up. One of those teams is Sweden, who are still undefeated. Also, Germany lies ahead as well.

Getting excited yet?! The Men's Closing is just a couple of days away now and BRCC's premiere event will kick off. This is always a huge tournament and what a good time. This spiel is famous...and it sure is a tough act to follow.

Rock On
