When play begins on Friday at this year’s Tim Hortons Brier in Calgary, a couple of grizzled, broken-down veterans will be sliding down the sheet, trying for one more chance at Canadian curling glory.
Glenn Howard, 58, and 53-year-old Wayne Middaugh are a couple of old-timers taking on a bunch of kids, relatively speaking. Howard is the only grandfather in the field, Middaugh the only one with a titanium tibia. Together they’re curling’s answer to Waldorf and Statler, the Muppet geezers who love to recall the good old days.
To say the duo has been around this rock show a few times is an understatement. Middaugh is making his 10th appearance at the Canadian men’s curling championship, this one coming 30 years after his first.
