Wednesday Mixed

You must be thinking, When did Richard Olmstead join the State Police? And what does he have against tampons? Well, that's not him. Richard is not a state trooper. But he IS a curler and he is a veteran curler who has been in the game a long time. Richard plays in the Monday Mixed, Wednesday Open 8 Ender as well as the  Thursday Mens. To curl 3 nights a week, Richard clearly demonstrates his love for the Roaring game. Richard is a great asset to the BRCC. Not only does he participate in the leagues, but he also volunteers at the club a great deal. It is the BRCC's good fortune to have Richard as a member of the club. And this past Wednesday, there were lots more BRCC members out there giving it their all between the sheets.

Ice A: Lucy Ann Trudeau vs Warren Neufeld. WIN for Trudeau. In this come-from-behind victory, the Trudeau crew got behind early but endeavoured to persevere for the rest of the match and won it on skips rocks in the last end. Well played game by both sides but it was the Trudeau rink who prevailed. Proving that it is never over till its over, the Trudeau rink gets the "Don't Give Up" Award. Perhaps Willy Nelson would flush his stash and pick up a brush!

Ice B: Al Viel vs Ryan Hagger. WIn for Viel. The Viel squad seemed to be in control for most of this match. Great showing by this squad and they appear to be one of the teams to beat in the Wednesday Open 8 Ender. It's the "We Will Rock You" Award for these guys. Would Queen not approve?

Ice C: Glen Austin vs John Topash. WIN for Austin. The Wednesday Newfie Bullet managed to squeak out the win in this match that was tight most of the way. Ron Coventry plays with this squad and is a new member to the BRCC BUT, he is no stranger to curling. Ron has curled alot and his style is demonstrative of the Manitoba tuck. It might be old-school, but it sure is effective. It's the "I Did It My Way" Award for him. If Paul Anka knew this, he'd already be out looking for a pair of Podium Golds!

Ice D: Hailey Horton vs Tom St Jules. WIN for St Jules. Big Daddy continues to be one of the frontrunners in this league but he had his hands full with the juniors tonight. This game was tight the entire was through and was won only in the last end. great effort by both squads. Helen Rancourt plays for the St Jules crew and is the most pleasant lady you might ever meet.  She is just returning from a year-long hiatus and it is sure nice to see her back. It's the "Heart Of Gold" award for her. I'm sure Neil Young would have to agree.

So that's how the rocks slid on this Wednesday night. Once again, the ice was fast and the amount of curl was out of this world. I should mention our club guy, Brian St Pierre. He has been doing an outstanding job of looking after the club and helping with the ice during the evenings. An excellent fit for the BRCC. It's the "Thank You For Being A Friend" Award for him. I'm sure the Golden Girls would be lining up for a date!

Rock On!
