For little over an hour, many HCC curlers were throwing rocks after rocks and sweeping hard to get as many rocks to cover the pin in 30 minutes as they could. This was in support of the Big Shootout contest that took place during Curling Day in Canada on February 24th.
Big thanks to Jim and Cory for their help in pulling together our efforts for Canada’s Big Shootout and Curling Day in Canada! While we might not win the $5k, I think it’s safe to say everyone had a lot of fun and it’s something we should plan to do next year, maybe even a little bigger!
The group of 30+ members threw rocks for just over an hour, with the following 8 members covering the pin!
- Mike Robb
- Aaron Robinson
- Rick Gladstone
- Andy Campbell
- Chris Wagner
- Eric Joy
- Karen Gladstone
- Wade Neville
Video presentations of the fun and excitement of this event include:
- Our official submission, covering the pin 6 times on YouTube.
- A 2 minute highlight video showing all the successes on YouTube. Note celebrations were always short lived as there was another rock coming into the house right away.
- The full 60+ minutes of the whole event is also on YouTube.
The videos are only available to those with the links.
Eyes are already looking at February 22, 2025 on the calendar when the next Curling Day in Canada will be held. Plans for more curlers and multiple sheets to be involved are being considered ….
