Howard On a Roll At Worlds
Hello. Congrats to my former University of Waterloo Golf Team teammate, Glenn Howard, for dominating the Ford Men's World Championships so far. Howard's rink beat Switzerland 8-2 this morning to climb to 4-0. Finland, Denmark and Sweden have been their other victims. All were highly regarded, yet Team Canada has disposed of them relatively easily.
At this point I would be shocked if Howard lost a game, let alone the event. Now that curling is an Olympic sport, it seems like many teams are starting over, and still learning how to play as a team in preparation for 2010. This seems to allow Canada to have an advantage, as the depth of curling teams means there will always be at least one team peeking in any one year. That seems to be the case with Kelly Scott and Glenn Howard. As dominant as Scott was in Japan, Howard may be even more so in Edmonton.
So will Howard win it all? He should and I know he knows it. Of course anything can happen.
What I'm hoping will happen tonight vs Korea is that Steve Bice gets to play. Steve filled in for Brent Laing in the Ontario finals on 3 hours notice and has stayed with the team ever since. What a great story it would be in what should otherwise be a blowout.
All the best Glenn!
Regards,
Steve
