Team Canada skip Jim Armstrong returned to the club displaying many of his achievements as an able-bodied curler, in an exhibition match against Paralympic contenders Japan.
It was not a happy home-coming, as Team Canada lost 8-3. The ice was reported as extremely fast, and either Japan adjusted to the challenging conditions, or Canada found it hard to believe the broom. Either way, Jim had a tough game, short on a draw for an additional point in 3, short in the 6th to give up a steal of 1, and missing an open hit in 7 to give up 3.
CAN 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 3
JAP 0 2 0 1 0 1 3 1 8
Since the employment of Chris Daw as Manager, the entire lower level of the Vancouver CC has been made wheelchair accessible.
