Original Toronto Star caption: Creepy way to win a bet. Norbert MacKinnon, New Brunswick skip, gets a particular kick out of beating his counterpart from P.E.I., John Fortier, because they have a standing bet that the loser crawl along the ice to grovel before the victor. That's Fortier setting out at left and extending a hand to MacKinnon at right. That's five years out of six, the knee-sore Fortier sighed.
