BCC's Jonathan Penney at THE BRIER

Canada's twelve best curling teams are currently playing "The Brier" at the John Labatts Center in London Ontario. The best "Ice Technicians" are also there! And one of those ice technicians is Brockville Country Club's Jonathan Penney.
Jonathan volunteered and was accepted to join renowned ice makers Hans Wuthrich and Mark Shurek out of Manitoba. With Jonathon's tuitoring from Shorty Jenkins and handling of the Shorty Jenkins Curling Classic at the BCC for years, he was a welcome addition to The Brier Ice Crew.
Jonathan was up to London mid last week; made it back to handle the EOSSAA and 1000 Islands Mixed Bonspiels on the weekend at the BCC, then back Sunday evening to work the week in London for the Brier. WOW, quite an agenda.
It is interesting, as Jonathan noted, that seven (7) of the twelve teams at the Brier this year have played in the Shorty Classic in Brockville.
Congratulations Jonathan! We are sure the experience will be great and you will have lots of tall tails upon your return.
