Rivers ice technician heads to Korea for world curling
Robins, a 70 year old Rivers area ice maker and head ice technician at Riverview Curling Club in Brandon, will travel March 11 to Gangneung, South Korea, for the World Women's curling championship. He expects 14-16 hour days, cold weekends, and multiple prep cycles as Canada fields Jennifer Jones’s rink. His career spans five decades of volunteering and paid work in Manitoba towns, with possible later trips to New Zealand for senior competition.
