CONGRATULATIONS
Several years ago, ECCC curler Bob Scott realized that many curlers could use additional stability during delivery. He teamed up, off the ice, with another ECCC curler, Jim Beirne. Together they designed a broom attachment for curlers to use during delivery. After developing a number of prototype models, they settled on a winning style and began manufacturing this device in Bob's workshop. The Curling Brush Buddy or "CUBB" was designed to assist the curler during the delivery of a stone and then simply fold to the storage position on the brush so the curler could still sweep when necessary. 
Bob Scott set up his milling machine to produce parts for the CUBB.
