Ron Anton was the original boy wonder. He started
skipping a men's team at the age of sixteen. With his father
at third, they reached the semifinals of the Swift Current Carspiel
in 1959, holding their own against the great Matt Baldwin.
Matt's third in the event, Hec Gervais, returned to skipping a year
later and recruited Ron as his vice. Joined with Ray Werner
and Wally Ursuliak, they would represent Alberta at the next two
Briers, winning in 1961. Ron and Hec teamed up again in 1974,
this time with Warren Hansen and Darrel Sutton, winning a second
Canadian Championship. Ron shares many stories from his time
with Hector, their battles against the Richardsons and his coaching
experience during the 1967 Canadian School Boys with Stan Trout and
later with Team Canada at the Calgary Olympic Winter Games in
1988.
