Team Howard - Bio

Now in their fifth season together, Team Howard have climbed to the pinnacle of the curling world… and they’re not finished yet.

Team Howard made it double world gold for JVC in 2007 by winning the Ford World Curling Championship last April, defeating Germany’s Andy Kapp 8-3 in the final at Rexall Place in Edmonton.

In addition to the world title, the team finished in the top three on the World Curling Tour and won nuerous tournaments around the world.

This is a team with vast experience, as skip Howard is now a three-time Canadian and world champion, Hart an Olympic silver medallist plus Canadian and world champion, and the youthful tandem of Laing and Savill are both previous world junior champions in addition to reigning world champions.

Next stop… Vancouver 2010?
