SYDNEY, N.S. — There’s one curling rock that’s all the talk among players at the World Women’s Curling Championship — and it’s not one that’s being thrown this week on the Centre 200 ice.
Instead, Brent Denny built the stone in 2022. A retired firefighter and the former deputy fire chief for Cape Breton Regional Municipality, he’s also into woodworking and designed the rock for parades as a way to promote the Sydney Curling Club. He’s curled there for about eight years after retiring from firefighting.
However, that changed when the world curling championship teams rolled in this month. The first of them was Team Japan, which held several practices at the club after arriving a week before the tournament began.
