The “Iceman” is taking his curling knowledge to the United States. Former World Champion Al Hackner has accepted a coaching position with the U.S. High Performance Curling Program. The Nipigon native who now resides in Thunder Bay says he got a call from the head of the program two weeks ago. Hackner says there is the possibility of heading to the next Olympics in Russia as a coach for either the men’s or women’s U.S. teams.
