Ontario second Wes Forget prepares to throw the rock — with a throwback backswing delivery — during a practice session prior to the 10th draw against Nova Scotia at the Brier in Brandon, Man., on Tuesday. Like the majority of curlers at the Canadian men’s championship, Forget uses the modern no-lift delivery most of the time. Done properly, the backswing delivery requires less leg drive than the no-lift and more power is generated. Russ Howard said so,” Forget said. “I know it’s been inspired by some great Ontario curlers that Wes idolized when he was young,” McDonald said.
