Summary
Jim Armstrong has curled in the Brier six times. The owner of six Purple Hearts (1973, '74, '83, '84 and '92), he never won a Brier, but he was third for Bernie Sparks when they lost to Russ Howard in 1987 and made it to the semifinals in '83.
"I was invited to play at the start of this season," said the 57-year-old dentist, "so I've only been playing in a wheelchair all this season.""It is quite different (from able-bodied curling)," he went on. "The angles are different, and we do (it) from a chair with a stick from two feet, what able-bodied curlers get to do from over 20 feet. So it's definitely a challenge, but it has been like a new lease on life to me."See the full content of this document
