March 2025 – Can/Am Cup

2025 was a monumental year for our little curling bonspiel. We had new competitors, including Jason Hamilton and the one and only Brent Ozar, and new winners, including Alana Wharton and, believe it or not, ME!

Our usual loft was unavailable so we rented a couple of houses on the south shore. Nora really got a kick out of walking out onto the ice, but she was afraid to go too far:

The round robin was a blast.

And here was the winning shot:

On the way through Bobcaygeon, I tried to reproduce this image from several years ago. It’s still the same sign (with two stickers still affixed), but someone washed off the magic marker. 🙁

We had to upgrade the trophy with a new lower layer that will last us 7 more years. And this time my name’s on it for real. And over the summer, everyone got a chance to take a picture, like with the NHL’s Day with the Cup.

Can’t wait for 2026!
