Timeline

1924

The oldest person ever to win a gold medal was Robin Welsh, aged 54, who won gold in curling at the 1924 Winter Olympics.

1956

Russell W. "Russ" Howard, CM, ONL (born February 19, 1956, in Midland, Ontario) is a Canadian curler and Olympic champion, based in Regina, Saskatchewan, but originally from Midland, Ontario.

1987

He is also a two-time world champion, winning in 1987 and 1993.

As a skip (captain), Howard has been in three previous trials (in 1987, 1997, and 2001), but never went on to the Olympics.

Howard is also the innovator of the "Moncton Rule", which evolved into the "free guard zone", part of international and Olympic rules.

1991

He has also won three TSN Skins Games in 1991, 1992, and 1993, and participated in two Canadian Mixed Curling Championships in 2000 and 2001.

2000

He lived in Moncton, New Brunswick, from 2000 to 2019.

Known for his gravelly voice, Howard has been to the Brier 14 times (8 as Ontario, 6 as New Brunswick), winning the title twice (both as Ontario).

2001

Howard has been commentating curling events for TSN since 2001.

Howard stepped into the broadcast booth for the first time in 2001, serving as an analyst for TSN’s coverage of the Brier.

2005

In 2005, he joined team Gushue to call the shots for Brad Gushue's team at the Canadian Olympic Trials, while he played second.

2006

He won gold at the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Howard, along with Gushue (who throws last rocks), lead Jamie Korab and third Mark Nichols, went on to win the trials, giving them the right to represent Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics, where they won the gold medal, defeating Finland 10–4 in the final match.

It was the first time that a Canadian team had won the gold medal for men's curling.

Howard, who turned 50 during the Olympics, is also the oldest Canadian to win an Olympic gold medal.

This makes his 2006 medal particularly significant, as it is likely that without the excitement this rule adds to the sport it would not have become an Olympic event in the 1990s.

In 2006, he was inducted into the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame.

2007

Howard has released two books: Hurry Hard: The Russ Howard Story (2007), an autobiography that vividly describes his journey to becoming an Olympic gold medallist, and Curl to Win (2008).

2008

He played in two Canadian Senior Curling Championships in 2008 and 2009 finishing with a silver medal both of those years.

Since 2008, he has been a mainstay analyst on the network, also providing colour commentary for TSN’s Season of Champions curling.

2009

In the 2009-10 curling season, although he played in bonspiels throughout the year, Howard did not curl in the New Brunswick Tankard due to his broadcasting commitments with The Sports Network (TSN).

At the end of the 2009 Brier, Howard had appeared in more Briers than any other player (14), and played more games at the Brier than any other player (174).

2010

Howard handled colour commentating duties for Canada’s Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Howard's grand-aunt, Jean Thompson, was an Olympic runner.

His brother, Glenn Howard, is also a well known curler.

Howard's daughter, Ashley Howard, is a competitive curler and the executive director of CurlSask, the governing body of curling in Saskatchewan.

Outside of curling, Howard worked as a real estate agent for Royal LePage Atlantic, in addition to his commentator work with TSN, and as a curling coach in Switzerland.

2011

Russ Howard was inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.

He is currently a curling analyst and commentator for TSN’s Season of Champions curling coverage.

2012
