Clarence W. "Shorty" Jenkins (1935 – 11 April 2013) was a famous ice technician in the sport of curling.
Born in Hanna, Alberta and raised in an orphanage in Victoria, British Columbia, Jenkins served in the Royal Canadian Air Force from the age of 17.
That wouldn't last, and Jenkins convinced the curling club in Trenton, Ontario to take him on as ice maker.
Jenkins claimed he was the only person who could "choose and match rocks for major championships".
