Marcel Rocque, a Canadian curler recalls his memory from the 2004 national championship at his visit to SaskTel Centre. What Happened To Him?
When Team Homan coach Marcel Rocque walked into SaskTel Centre for Canada’s Olympic curling trials, the memories from the 2004 men’s national championship final came rushing back.
It was his first time in the building since Randy Ferbey’s showdown that year with Mark Dacey. A memorable championship match had a bit of everything, including a heckler who got under the skin of Rocque’s team — known as the Ferbey Four — late in the game.
The heckler, seated by the side boards, had chirped Ferbey fourth Dave Nedohin on a regular basis. Nedohin was clearly distracted by him in the critical 10th end.
“As soon as I walked out, I looked right to the chair,” Rocque said with a laugh.
Ferbey’s Alberta team, which also included Scott Pfeifer, was looking to extend its Brier streak to four straight titles. After Dacey’s Nova Scotia side scored three in the eighth end, Ferbey was forced to a single in the ninth.
The heckler was at it again as Alberta tried to hang onto its two-point lead.
“I remember Dave having a little bit of trouble focusing all week in here,” Rocque recalled. “It’s kind of a hollow sound (in the arena).”
