Hitting one of our Marco removable hacks with a 44 pound curling stone can damage the ice, necessitating a several hour repair, and even destroy the hack itself. When you are practicing, be sure to use the wooden hack guard to prevent damage.
When you are playing, it is your responsibility to ensure that rocks are stopped before they hit the hack. Please watch this video, produced by Glenn Paulley and Rob Shaw of the Elmira & District Curling Club, to see what can happen, and what is involved in repairing the ice. Don’t be a hack whacker!
