Curling... who knew it was a hip thing to do!!

Greetings folks!

So, I'm slowly being introduced to the winter culture in Halifax and apparently curling is the thing to do! 40 of us colleagues took the afternoon off (hey, even federal public servants need a break once in a while!!! ;) to go to the curling rink!

It's actually a pretty tough sports (for all those that have never played), which kinda squashed my stereotyped curler of a 100 year old men sport! I kept either wipping the rock way past the circle/target thing of barely getting it 1/2 down the ice (more the former cause I'm such a strong dude!!). And try staying up without putting your knee down as you slide- impossible, I swear!! As a result, I actually came home with a bruised knee! It's hardcore this curling stuff, I tell ya!!

But in the end, our team, lead by a great skip one our game and actually scored the most points out of all the other teams!! Nice work! I think I scored 1 out of the 9 points we skored, but it's a team effort right (there are 4 to a team)! :P

So, anyways, next year I want to join a league and rip up the Halifax ice! :)

Here are some shots of action and our team!
Enjoy and definitely sign yourself up for a try!! :)
