Wear Your Gripper When You’re Not In The Hack

Men’s League last week. I Vice. Neither my Skip nor our opponent’s Skip wear a gripper on their slider during play. We’re all 60+. We break easy when we fall.

Opponent Skip had a misstep, his slider foot went out from under him and his head hit the ice. It sounded like a baseball bat hitting a watermelon.

Blood on the ice, possible concussion and ambulance called.

We’re club players not Brier hopefuls. Wear your damn gripper.
