In the game of curling, each team throws eight rocks down the ice toward the \u201chouse\u201d where the rocks either stop short, stop in the house, or go right through. The centre of the house, surrounded by \u201crings,\u201d is the \u201cbutton.\u201d If one team can \u201cscore\u201d all eight rocks, in the \u201crings\u201d closer to the \u201cbutton,\u201d than their opponents\u2019 eight rocks, that is an \u201ceight-ender.\u201d Scoring an eight-ender is an extremely rare event. In fact, there are only ten known eight-enders scored in the history of the Huntsville Curling Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skip in the picture, Pat Brothers, was an extraordinary member of the Huntsville Curling Club from 1940 to 1992. During those 52 years, he was on the curling club\u2019s board of directors from 1940 to the 1980s. Brothers was also very \u201chands-on,\u201d being the club\u2019s icemaker for many years and never turning down a chance to help at the club\u2019s many events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1986, Pat Brothers was the first and only member of the club to be honoured with a lifetime membership. It was the club’s recognition of his lifetime of curling club volunteerism and decades as club executive. Along with former Mayor and club President Don Lough, he was a staunch champion of ladies’ curling in Huntsville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1994, Brothers received the highest honour of his life when he was inducted into the Huntsville Sports Hall of Fame for his 60 years of Athletic Achievement in the sports of curling & baseball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
