Description
Fiction. Campus politics collide with curling club realities, releasing pent-up forces and triggering a chain reaction of unintended consequences. Blackie and his curling buddies find themselves whipped up by Blackie's university-age son to oppose the shut-down of their beloved Queen Victoria, Winnipeg's friendliest—and only Jewish—curling rink. Under the shadow of threat that this might be their last season ever, Blackie's foursome marches relentlessly towards the provincial bonspiel and the promise of glory.
