I spent the day yesterday at the Canadian Senior Curling Championship that was help for the last 9 days here in Trois-Rivières, Québec.

I only attended 2 semi-finals match but I sure had a blast. That was my first experience shooting curling. I learned a lot yesterday and that will definitely help me do a better job next time.

 

Yes they do smile. Mostly off the ice but they are also having fun on the ice. Quite a few of these players have spent years competing at the highest levels representing their province and their country all over the world. There were at least 2 World champions and quite a few more Canadian champions playing all week long in this tournament.

These guys knew what was at stake and they were prepared to give their all to win the championship. Even if that meant looking serious for the photographer.

 

Yes go ahead JeffP. Show the Cafe what you've got !

Thanks Sharon. That's one of my favorites too.
