Any curler knows that 8-enders are a very rare event. The last one at Merritt Curling Centre was in 2017...until now. Paul Sutton, Emery Grismer, Jim Johnston, and Josh Roda (pictured left to right) are new curlers and a team that was just put together (they didn't all know each other). With a stunning strategy of "let's keep stones in play," they pulled off the eight-ender after Josh, the skip, made a double take-out. They went on to win the game 12-6 against the Number 1 seed team (whom will remain nameless for the purpose of this story).
