Monday Mixed

Curling in a diagram. Doesn't tell you everything about the game but I suppose it describes the basics. If you really want to learn about it, you have to play it. You can watch it on TV and you will be able to figure some things out but playing in person is by far the best way to get a handle on the Roaring Game. And that's what they were out doing this past Monday at the Mixed League.

Andrew Ludgate vs Joanna Hammond. WIN for Hammond

Glen Austin vs Gator Fortin. WIN for Austin

Michel Rivard vs Dan McMillan. WIN for McMillan

Ryan Hagger vs Hailey Horton. WIN for Horton

Bob Villeneuve vs Sandy Milroy.  WIN for Villeneuve

Jerry Jensen vs Craig Roberts. WIN for Jensen

FEATURE GAME: No feature game this week as I was not there to see any. But, I do have a Feature Team: Team Gator Fortin. Quite possibly, the most fun team in the league. If you have ever played on a Monday night and not heard Karen Fortin laughing, then I would have to say that you need the batteries on your "Whisper 2000" changed. They do not win every game...in fact I would hazard a guess that their record is 500 in a season which is pretty good! But in terms of having a good time and enjoying each others' company, then this team is 1000! They have been together in the Monday Mixed for several years now and it is teams like this that enhance the Monday Mixed.

ENTHUSIASTIC CURLER: Heidi Lees. Heidi Lees has been curling in the Mixed league for quite a few years. She got her start with Team Kearns and since then has moved to Team Villeneuve. Heidi loves to play curling and she never misses a chance to spare. If you are looking for an enthusiastic curler to fill in, give Heidi a call. She has stepped up her game big time and who can resist that smile?

WELCOME PRESENCE: Marissa Deverell. Marissa has been sparing for Team Villeneuve on a regular basis and it sure is nice to see her around the club. She is a regular at the Ladies spiel and this year in particular, she will be well-practised.

BEST FUR HAT: Mary Shamas. Mary is a regular with Team McMillan. She is a huge curling enthusiast and despite being a very busy lady, she comes out to curl as often as she can. You will know Mary by her fur hat she wears while on the ice. Not only does Mary embrace curling (which she is very good at) but she embraces fashion as well.

So that's how the rocks curled for this past Monday. You will notice that for this week, there is a "pass the hat" thing going around the clubhouse...actually it is a little pink basket. This is a collection for the food bank. As the Christmas season rolls around, we should all be thinking about those less fortunate and look to doing what we can to help.

Rock On!
