Brier action had to be delayed on one sheet of ice Tuesday morning after a leak in the Brandt Centre roof.
Play between Yukon and Newfoundland and Labrador on Sheet B was delayed for around 20 minutes after players told officials water had started to drip onto the ice.
A bucket could be seen on the ice catching water drops as ice technicians worked to fix the problem.

Play resumed between the two teams, and Team Newfoundland and Labrador went on to win 6-5.
In a press release from the Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL) Tuesday afternoon, they said “a drip was observed on to one of the Brier playing surfaces, resulting in a stoppage in play to investigate.”
“REAL determined that a combination of interior building temp, combined with the cold outside air, was causing the development of condensation on a protruding apparatus connected to a roof antenna. The condensation thawed and developed a small drip on to the ice surface below.”
They went on to say the issue was rectified by adjusting the pipe position and redirecting the accumulation of water to a collection point.
