“I’ve been coached by Al over the last 15 years whenever I’ve been lucky enough to have the opportunity. He’s the only coach we ever found who connected deeply & made a huge difference to all members of the team. A coaching session with Al reminds us all of why we love this game. His coaching helped instill a routine & a confidence to win games & persevere on international stages.”

“I first met Al when I started working at the old Vancouver Curling Club location in 1993. He helped me with my curling delivery on several occasions over the years, & I keep going back to the things he has told me & his delivery notes whenever my delivery feels off. He definitely contributed to any success I have had as a curler.”
