His team went into the last Capital One Grand Slam as the #8 seed. But they wound up beating 2012 World Champ Team Howard in the final. The longtime lead for Wayne Middaugh, now playing third for John Epping, talked about what a ridiculous sport curling can be.

So it turns out that when you’re part of a team that wins a national championship, people think you should be on your own podcast as a guest. So I am. Twice, in fact, for reasons that I explain. In this edition, my good friend JohnnyMo takes the mike as the guest host.

Heather Nedohin, 2012 Alberta Scotties champ.

Hammer — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:11:02 +0000

She’s been oh-so-close for a lot of years but this season, Heather and her team got it done. Among other things, I talked to Heather about the challenges of balancing motherhood and high performance curling.

Wayne Middaugh, after the last Capital One Grand Slam and just before the Dominion Tankard.

Hammer — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:00:20 +0000

He seems revitalized after replacing Richard Hart at third on Team Howard. We talked to the longtime skip about his new role, the team’s season and the week ahead at Ontario’s Dominion Tankard.

Jo-Ann Rizzo of Team Sherry Middaugh.

Hammer — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 03:48:12 +0000

She plays third on the team that had about the best cash spiel season of any rink on the women’s circuit before finding themselves needing the Challenge Round to secure a spot in the Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts. But they are in the field at Kenora and a favorite. We talked to Jo-Ann about her team’s season, curling in Ontario and more.

John Morris talks about the season so far. And we announce the winner of our contest.

Hammer — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:49:00 +0000

His team had a disappointing result at the TSN Casino Rama Skins Game but their up-and-down season has also seen them garner the first Canadian Olympic Trials spot. We talked to John about the team’s performance this year, got his thoughts on the 5-Rock Rule and drew the winner of our Lunch-and-Lesson contest. Among other things.

Bruce Rainnie of CBC Sports just before the BDO Canadian Open.

Hammer — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 06:47:53 +0000

Somehow another PEI resident — right after Brett Gallant — snuck onto the show. Bruce Rainnie, the voice of the Capital One Grand Slams, joined me for a conversation about what the 5-Rock Rule might mean at the BDO Canadian Open in Kingston, the CBC coverage of the game and more.
