Team McEwen's 'honest discussions' have them starting strong at hometown Brier. MORE:
BRANDON, Man. – Mike McEwen and his Winnipeg team are finding their groove at the perfect time.
“Sometimes, we haven’t wanted to say things to each other, but I think with the encouragement of our coach and sports psychologist we were able to say constructive things that have gotten us to a better place,” said Carruthers. The improved communication on the ice has also been key to their recent success. The skip, who was a win away from representing Canada at the Olympics last year, says they might have been"tip-toeing" around each other at some points earlier this season.
“We’re trying to find the right balance,” said Carruthers. “Even for me as a third, I’m trying to not to say too much, letting [McEwen] do the talking. If I think I need to say something to help him make a shot, then I do it.” “I don’t know if [Hodgson] baited me to play it," said McEwen."Even though I’m the guy who threw and Reid called the line, sometimes the extra little voices on the team can influence what happens out there. He coaxed me into playing it and it worked out.”
