Hurling


Cynthia calls it hurling. I can't bear to correct her. but it's become fascinating. compelling. the drama of real life minus the reality t.v. crew hovering nearby, listening in, lurking.
not everything said is compelling enough to warrant advertissement!
Canadian Curling
the game continues off the 4 sheets of ice. two teams per sheet = 16
16 42lb granite rocks, honed, polished, modified with a brass handle.
8 per team
thrown alternating teams two throws per team of four
the 1st
the 2nd
the third
the hammer
percentage of draws (hit and runs)
percentage of take-aways thrown with heavy weight
but what's the deal with the timer?
I'm just saying...
Gooooaaaallllllllllllll!!!!!!!
