We spoke to Glenn Howard just one day after his win in the team’s first event of the season – the Shorty Jenkins Classic in Brockville, Ontario. Among other things, Glenn talks about how the team played in the spiel, the team’s preparation for the Olympic Trials, the loss in last year’s Ontario final and whether he’d be skipping if his brother Russ still lived in Ontario. We finish with a new rapid-fire segment – Glenn weighs in with one-word answers on all kinds of things that are on the minds of curlers.

We return with the second half of our interview with Jon Mead of Team Stoughton. We cover a lot of territory – the creation of the WCT, the CCA-CBC situation, the Team Stoughton chemistry, the popularity of curling in Manitoba, the keys to growing the game and the importance of the team’s sponsors.
