Howard in form at 54, pushing for Brier return with eye on Olympic qualifying
COBOURG, Ont. — When Glenn Howard made his first appearance at the Ontario curling championship, Pierre Trudeau was prime minister, McDonald’s was about to introduce the McNugget, and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” album ruled the charts.
A lot has changed in the three-plus decades since, but Howard’s drive to be the best hasn’t waned.
The four-time world champion is still going strong at 54. Howard is trying to get back to the Tim Hortons Brier and also has his eye on trying to qualify for the Olympic Trials later this year.
“The fire is still there,” said teammate Richard Hart. “He’s as competitive as ever.”
