This year for curling only 16 curlers hit the ice, and most of these curlers were alumni or staff. Regardless of the small number, one thing is for sure; this small group still managed to rock the house.

Curling was off to a doubtful start with fewer numbers. At one point it looked like we were not even getting into the building, but soon enough the building was open, the ice was ready, and rocks would start curling down the ice. There were four teams. The first team’s name was Skipped by Tim Grace. Players included: Wesley Hague, Jeff Hopkins, and Emmalee Grove. The second was Jason Edgar, Mark Limont, Tasha Johnson (Mark’s Friend), and Carol Blake. The third team was Scot Denison, Tim Chester, Jordan Vetro, and Andrew Walin. Last but not least there was Katelyn Unger, Stephanie Vincent, Jenn Sills and Sarah Capeling.

All of us (except Tasha Johnson) had been curling before so we took to the ice with some of us occasionally hollering out “Do Less Worse”. Well actually, there was only one team did, but regardless, there were rocks, houses, ice and people slipping on that ice.

All in all it was a great time, and we will be curling again in second semester. Even if you have no clue of why you would want to slide down with a broom, come anyway and be part of the event that can only be described as Wildcats with Brooms.
