Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 06/01/2012 (4998 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Let me get this out of the way: Jack Motyer is my hero.
The soon-to-be 95-year-old curler has been playing out of St. Vital Curling Club since the early 80s, around the same time I was born.
It’s incredible to see him curl in person. He still gets down in the hack and slides the best he can, but to watch him sweep is a sight to see. The guy puts a lot more power into his broom than my 30-something teammates on The Right Offs, my Fort Rouge foursome.
My colleague Tania Kohut and I had the pleasure of meeting Jack on Thursday and interviewing him about his love of the game and how he’s managed to stay so active at his age.
I’ve posted the entire interview below. This guy is the best.
