Souris PEI native Ian MacAulay, a well-known Ottawa-area ice-technician and curler, paid a visit to the Cornwall Curling Club, where he had a chance to throw a few rocks, and talk “ice” with Cornwall’s new icemaker, Brent Irving.

MacAulay has been the head ice technician at the Rideau Curling Club, Ottawa Curling Club and currently at the RCMP Curling Club. Undoubtedly, Brent learned a few tricks from this veteran ice maker!
