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] The slide is used almost exclusively by curlers from the province of Manitoba though tuck curlers are also found in nearby regions of Saskatchewan and the US state of North Dakota.[2] Prominent historical curlers include Kerry Burtnyk, Don Duguid, Barry Fry, Vic Peters, and Jeff Stoughton.[3][1] Current curlers include Mike McEwen and his team as well as Ryan Fry.[2][4][5] Historically, Duguid was one of the first to perfect the tuck delivery and began practicing it when he was nine back in the mid 1940s.[1][5][6]
