making from some very talented curlers.

Murray passed along a big thank-you to all the players, parents and coaches for their participation, to the Junior coordinators and volunteers from Deer Lodge who bravely looked after and stocked the Players-Only Lounge, to all other volunteers, family and friends, who pitched in whether asked or not and to the kitchen and bar staff for all their efforts. A special thanks went to Hal for so carefully tending to the ice.
