Tom Hunter (Turnstone athlete, coach, referee & volunteer) attended the 2024 Wheelchair Curling Athlete Identification Camp which took place in Golden, Colorado on April 27-30! A total of fourteen athletes engaged in two and a half days of instruction and competition under the guidance of 2x Paralympian Steve Emt, National Team member Dan Rose, National Team Leader Marc DePerno and the amazing Denver Curling Club staff. This Athlete Identification Camp overlapped with the Selection Camp April 30 - May 2 to determine the National Team. The Identification camp started with an off-ice introduction to the sport—curling terminology, equipment, strategic concepts. On-ice instruction followed and incorporated delivery techniques, skill shots, and gameplay. Tom has his eyes set for earning a stop on Team USA for the 2030 Winter Paralympics

Robb was leading a successful career in the banking industry when he acquired a traumatic brain injury about 23 years ago. Due to his injury, he was unable to return to banking, though his coworkers and peers wanted to welcome him back. Just over five years ago, he moved from Indianapolis to Fort Wayne and discovered Turnstone through a family friend who suggested he try out the programs. Turnstone offered Robb something he had been missing-- a place to improve his physical health, mental health, and social opportunities.
