The rink, with skip Ken Calthorpe, third Richard Miller, second Doug Thompson, lead John Hayley and alternate Jeoff Leney won Zone 4 of the recent Pacific Coast Masters Curling Association Playdowns.
They earned a berth in the BC Interior Masters/Pacific Coast Masters Combined Provincial Championships.

“It must be something in the air and water,” he quipped.
