Morning Bye

Each team gets one bye draw through the week, and luckily enough our was scheduled for Thursday morning. I just checked the scores and see that Newfoundland/Labrador just beat Saskatchewan in our pool. That makes things interesting, because there's a possibility of 4-2 not being good enough for tie-breakers. It also means we probably need to go 6-0 to avoid tie-breakers since our pre-event shoot-out score was so weak! Tonight we play PEI and tomorrow afternoon we play Saskatchewan to finish the round robin.

Since we have the morning bye I thought I'd take a moment to thank a few people back home. To Tiffany, Jackie and Amy, the guys are missing you. To my wife Catie and my boys Fionn and Maddox, I'm missing you and I'll see you in a few days. Fionn has his first Aurora Tigers hockey game today, so good luck! A big thanks to our club, the Richmond Hill Curling Club. Thanks for Dave Porter and the board of directors, Dave Thomas the club manager and to all the members for the support and kind words this week. To all of our family and friends, thanks for the support! And finally to The Dominion and all the volunteers for putting on a first class event. Everyone here is having a blast and we all hope this event thrives and continue for years (and decades) to come.

Greg has some "work" to do today. He's the Monday Men's section head at the Richmond Hill Curling Club and our first draw ended this week, so he needs to get the results calculated and send out the next draw so all the men know what time to show up on Monday night!

Curtis did an interview for an article in the Liberal newspaper in Richmond Hill. Check it out.

To follow up on the "Shoe Incident", Bill Duck worked some magic and I was able to use my own slider shoe for both games yesterday. Thanks again to Tom for use of his shoe on Tuesday. I really lucked out in that whole situation.
