To follow is a personal story about a gift that inspired me to join curling.
In 2018 I received a very special gift from my mom who was a member at the Halifax Curling Club in Nova Scotia. The gift was a Hardline Curling Broom autographed by NS Brier representatives Jamie Murphy, Paul Flemming, Scott Saccary and Phil Crowell.
In 2019, I joined the Sydney Curling Club, as a new member, proud to be sporting my autographed Team NS broom. I have put the broom to good use over the past 5 seasons, curling several times per week and participating in many bonspiels at my home club and at other clubs in the area. One of the highlights this season was getting an eight ender. What a special night for our team.
In addition to participating in league games and bonspiels, I assist with on ice instruction for new curlers at the SCC and have been a board member at the club for 4 years. I have become very passionate about the game, and have volunteered at the Women’s Worlds and the Scotties Tournament of Hearts that were held in Sydney, NS. I have also attended the Continental Cup in Las Vegas and have the Brier event on my bucket list.
Curling is a great sport to play and watch. It also provides an opportunity to enhance active living, contribute to community and make lasting memories. Thanks to my mom and to NS Brier Representatives for this special gift .
