A consistent drip from the roof of the Brandt Centre led to a stoppage of the play at the 2024 Montana’s Brier in Regina.
The issue was first revealed in a statement to CTV News from Curling Canada. The organization explained that a “problem on Sheet B had been sourced to a leak in the roof” above the playing surface.
Curling Canada said that staff from the Brandt Centre were dealing with the issue at around 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
The Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL) later issued a news release.
“At approximately 11 a.m. a drip was observed on to one of the Brier playing surfaces, resulting in a stoppage in play to investigate,” it read.
REAL went on to explain that the interior building temperature – combined with cold weather outside was causing condensation on a “protruding apparatus” connected to one of the roof’s antennas.
“The condensation thawed, and developed a small drip on to the ice surface below. The issue was rectified by adjusting the pipe position, and redirecting the accumulation of water to a collection point,” the release read.
