Older athletes have given Bob Addison more than people to play against. Hear how his hockey and curling circles make room for friendship, and what you might recognise in the conversations that keep going after a game ends.
There are political arguments, repeated stories and people happy to sit and gab. Nobody needs a new anecdote every week to belong. Bob describes the routines around his games that turn time on the ice into time together.
And how mature does the humour get when your curling team’s combined age reaches 291? Bob is the baby at 62, but one story sends him straight back to being 14. Hear the sweeping call he still can’t repeat without laughing.
