Growing up in rural Newfoundland, Curling was played on Stadium ice. As kids we would hang out at the rink and watch all the events. My Dad loved curling and enjoyed playing bonspiels.
This one year when I was about 8 years old he made it to the A division! As he was about to throw a rock he hears “Dad!! Dad!! Can I have some money” and completely missed the shot to lose the division.
I don’t have a photo to commemorate this occasion, so I’ll share one from the Tim Horton’s Brier in St John’s.
“Sometimes you just want a hot dog real bad”, sorry dad!
