Snow Lake skip Kelly Wiwcharuk

 

 

Imagine travelling eight-and-a-half hours to reach your destination which is the 2011 Provincial Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Altona. There’s the thrill of throwing rocks on arena ice for the first time at practice on Tuesday and then being the first team introduced at the banquet that night. Now imagine going out to play your first ever game in the Provincial Scotties and you give up a six - in the first end. It’s been a tough two days on the scoreboard for Kelly Wiwcharuk, Jodi Cockle, Georgette Sicotte and Sheila Ritchat. They own an 0-4 record after losing to Joelle Brown, Kerri Einarson, Cathy Overton-Clapham and Janet Harvey but it’s been a special week for the foursome from the Snow Lake Curling Club. Kelly, Jodi and Georgette have thrown a lot of rocks in their curling careers but the great part of this week is that Sheila is playing in her first provincial championship after taking up the game just two years ago. They put this team together in September, won their Zone playdowns in Thompson in December and made the trip to Altona in January to compete with 15 other teams in the 2011 Provincial Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The first ever provincial championship for the four of them. A special week indeed.
