Curling Action: One of the Team

I had a wonderful time with the Canadian friends who let me join them for a night of curling.

Meet Annette!

Annette also plays in a stick curling league!  With stick curling, you have only two people on a team.  And, the rules about sweeping are a bit different. 

It is a relatively new sport in which the rocks are handled with a curling stick from a standing or sitting position.  The benefit is that this allows a larger group of people to play competitively.  Think curling from a wheelchair (yes...on the ice!) or if you have some other back or knee problems. 

I thought she had a wonderful smile!  She is having fun!
 

Here she is, scoping out the competition.


And, concentrating on the throw!

Well done, Annette!   My sincere thanks!
