A Pane in the Glass Podcast
Wall 2 Wall Ice w/Jon Wall
In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I welcome back Jon Wall. Since his first visit (S1E47) he worked side-by-side with Mark Shurek making the ice for the Grand Slam events you see on television. We talk about making championship ice for the very best curlers on the planet but most of the episode is devoted to the ice you play on at your curling facility. You'll learn how that surface is installed, maintained and how that new found knowledge can make you and your team better. We also discuss delivering rocks and the differences among rocks and of course, the topic de jour, brushing and its effect on ice to enhance performance.
