Jamie you should look uptge Strathcona Cup between Scotkand and Canada. I forget how many years it's been going on but it's the longest running bonspiel I believe. It was just in Fergus Ontario a few weeks ago. Thank you for all your videos! They are very helpful!
At our bonspiel in Kansas City, the prizes are barbecue themed. I have won a bottle of sauce and some bottle openers and grill utensils. :) I've only been curling almost two years, so my team was very surprised to win anything.
I know I'm WAYYYY late to the party here, but still gotta say, this video is flippin' hilarious Jamie! It's so cool that you create and share videos like these that showcase your personality, in addition to all the great instructional curling videos you produce. Soooo, I'm thinking that in the last couple years since you made this, surely you've come across 10 more "weird" facts in your curling travels...so how about a sequel from you and your toaster?!?!? :)

Hi Jamie, I recently found your videos and I think they are awesome. I am the coordinator and one of the coaches for the Junior league at the Curling Club of Kingsville in Kingsville, Ontario. I played some of your videos for the kids today and they all liked them! Very helpful! Where is your home Curling club? Thanks for doing these videos! If George Clooney comes Curling invite me please! That would be awesome! Have a great day and good Curling, Stephanie Heaton
Thank you so much Jamie for your videos i have learned a lot. I try to watch curling when ever i can unless there is hockey on then go Red Wings! I am happy to say i have subscribed to your channel. Thanks much Doug Port Huron Michigan. P.S. I like pizza too :-)
Not sure if I should step in here, but in case someone sees this question again. I don't know if all players use the same system, but it's a way for the sweepers to tell the skip how fast the stone is going and how far they think the stone will slide on its own. The way I learned it uses numbers 1-10; 1 is just across the hog line, 4 is the top of the house, 7 is the tee line (which runs across the house through the button), and 10 is the back of the house.
I won a coffee grinder once at a Bonspiel. Pretty fun. lol In one of the Curling Canada (CCA) commercials showed Johnny the hammer Chow winning a toaster at a Bonspiel! lol
Another great video full of fun facts about curling! Who knew!! Great job Jamie and thanks for sharing!
