Curling legend passing down wisdom at Scotties; Silvernagle wins in extras
Russ Howard has been a player or coach for almost half of Canada’s provinces; including for Canada itself.
He joined Newfoundland’s rink headed by Brad Gushue in 2005. After winning the Olympic trials, Howard went on to win Canada’s first ever men’s curling Winter Olympic gold. He’s also won two World Championships, the Brier twice for his native Ontario and had another six Brier appearance while curling out of New Brunswick.
Now, he can add Saskatchewan among the provinces he’s been affiliated with.
Howard is coaching his daughter Ashley at the 2016 Viterra Scotties Tournament of Hearts Women’s Championship.
