y resby Coutts, thecurler.com world silver for team robertson World Curling Championship Silver Medal A represents two things for Neepawa’s Kelly Robertson, who skipped his 2011 Canadian Senior Men’s champion team to the World Silver in Denmark in April 2012. First, it is a symbol of the wonderful accomplishments of a team assembled a year earlier when long time teammates Robertson, Doug Armour and Peter Prokopowich were joined by Bob Scales in his first year of Senior eligibility. To the team’s 2010- 11 season of winning the Manitoba and Canadian Championships, they added a repeat 2011-12 season Manitoba championship. In itself, that was a rare feat accomplished only three times in the over 25 years of Manitoba Senior Men’s sponsorship by the Strathcona Trust (Howard Restall 2004 & 05, Barry Fry 1994 & 95, Norm Houck 1986 & 87). But second, for Robertson and his team, that Silver Medal will always be a reminder of one shot, a shot that won Ireland its first ever World Curling medal. Undefeated before the Gold Medal game in Denmark, Team Robertson had the hammer on the extra end in that final with Ireland (also undefeated). Third Peter Prokopowich admitted later that he thought they had the game won with two shots to come. But as Robertson explains a great last shot by the opposing skip changed things. It was a last rock raise triple kill and stick by Irish skip John Jo Kenny. “Sometimes,” Robertson said “it just seems like a team is supposed to win.” Even after that great shot, Robertson had a last draw shot for victory but was slightly heavy to give up a steal of one on his draw which had to bite the four foot circle, territory Robertson had owned all week. The Canadian team had fought back from a 4-1 deficit, after giving up a four on the fourth end, and led 5-4 after seven. A one for Ireland on the home end set up the extra end dramatics. Robertson shared his feelings shortly after the game with a writer for the World Curling Federation’s website. He said, “It’s like the wind has been sucked right out of me. They played a good game – we gave up a four ender which was a little hard to take but we came back. It was a hell of a game. Actually, he made a great shot with his first one in the extra end. If mine heads a little bit more it’s like check-mate and he doesn’t have a shot. I had the chance to win it with a draw, I’ve had draw weight all week, but it’s the way it goes I guess.” The loss ended a remarkable two-year run for Robertson, Armour, Prokopowich and Scales who played seven championship events, only once losing more than one game in an event. In their first season, they lost their opening game at the McDiarmid Lumber Bonspiel to qualify, were undefeated from there to the end of the provincials, and lost only once at the Canadian Championship. To qualify for the Worlds, their 2010-11 record was 27 wins and 2 losses. In their second season, Team Robertson were undefeated in the Strathcona Senior Men’s spiel to qualify for a provincial championship in which they only lost once. They finished 6-5 at the Canadian Championship. Their 7-1 World record made for a record of 50 wins and 9 losses to win two Manitoba Men’s titles, a Canadian championship, and a World Silver medal.
