The Manitoba tuck is a form of slide in curling. A tuck under is when the curler's front toe is the only part of the slider that comes into contact with the ice as the heel is raised. [1] While the slide is most commonly found in the province of Manitoba, it is a technique used by curlers around the world. [2] Prominent historical curlers include Kerry Burtnyk, Don Duguid, Barry Fry, Vic Peters, and Jeff Stoughton. [3] Historically, Duguid was one of the first to perfect the tuck delivery and began practicing it when he was 9 years old back in the mid 1940s. [1] [4] [5] Tuck sliders may slide with a flat broom or use another delivery aid like a corn broom when sliding.
