Four-time world curling champion Glenn Howard says he feels refreshed and energized after undergoing offseason knee surgery
Feeling “10 times better” after offseason knee surgery, the ageless Glenn Howard is feeling refreshed and energized as he aims to defend his team’s title at the upcoming Ontario Tankard.
“I actually think this year is more up in the air than it has been in about the last 15,” Howard said. “Anybody can win and I don’t necessarily say it’s going to be Howard, Epping or McEwen.Rachel Homan and Hollie Duncan headline the Ontario women’s championship, which will be played at the same venue through Jan. 29. The champion will earn a berth at the Feb. 17-26 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Kamloops, B.C.Howard has won the Brier on four occasions over 20 career appearances.
“I’ve never met a guy who loves the game more than Glenn,” Laing said. “I know that that’s why he plays because he still loves to play, loves to compete and loves to be part of a team.” Howard underwent arthroscopic knee surgery last summer to fix meniscus issues and make tendon repairs. The team has played a lighter schedule this season and seen its ranking slip to No. 27 in Canada.
McEwen recently parted ways with lead Jonathan Beuk. The team announced this week that Joey Hart – the son of coach Richard Hart – will fill in at provincials.
