Coach Kingsbury an important guide to Northern Ontario success. MORE:

However, Kingsbury was not brought on to teach a better delivery or improve strategy. A team that has won Olympic gold and a Brier Tankard simply doesn’t need any technical advice. Instead, the mental performance consultant has been the fixer for a problem that was deeper than whether to throw an in-turn or out-turn.
“He’s done a great job of figuring out what makes us tick and how to communicate with us, helping us work on things we need to work on.” “How do you help with that?” asked Kingsbury. “You create a trusting relationship first and foremost and develop a bound that lets the players self explore. Examine areas that could be a blind spot. We all have blind spots. Whatever I can do to help them see that and come up with plans on how to manage things perhaps a little bit easier. Honestly it’s been a pretty easy job.”
Not only does Team Jacobs have a mental guru in Kingsbury behind the scoreboard, but they also have a doctor. Lee Toner, an emergency physician from Sudbury, is serving as the team’s alternate, but brings so much more to the table than most fifths. The road to the Brandon Brier has had some bumps for Team Jacobs, however. Fry was thrown out of the Red Deer Classic in November while substituting for another rink due to excessive drinking.
