Glenn Howard defeated, takes slapshot at NHL All-Star hockey OSHAWA, Ont. – Winnipeg's Mike McEwen sprawled on the ice and yelled as his final stone made a perfect nose takeout for a 5-4 victory at the 2011 BDO Canadian Open. McEwen's second win in three Capital One Grand Slam of Curling events came over hometown favourite Glenn Howard of Coldwater, Ontario. McEwen started fast, racing to leads of 3-0 and 4-1 before three-time world champion Howard clawed back, scoring a deuce in the seventh end and stealing the critical point in the eighth to force an extra-end. With the vibrant crowd at General Motors Place urging them on, Howard and McEwen traded brilliant last stones in a desperate reach for the trophy and $25,000 winner's cheque. The veteran Howard threw a double-takeout just past a guard to remove two McEwen counters and lie two, but the 30-year-old Manitoban followed that up with his own rocket and stayed for shot stone and the win. "That was awesome," said McEwen, who f ...

Capital One Junior Draw to the Button supports youth, Canadian curling clubs OSHAWA, Ont. – Teri Schiman of Vernon, British Columbia has been on one wild ride. And she's ready to back to real life. "It's been an amazing ride but I'm happy it's done," said the 37-year-old housewife, who also runs her own small daycare centre in her Okanagan city. Schiman, who had never previously curled in her life, threw a curling stone live on national television Sunday afternoon for a $1 million prize at the Capital One Million Dollar Button. "I thought I was really light," said Schiman. Everyone thought she was really light. Schiman dropped to her knees on the ice and screamed at the stone as the fans at the General Motors Centre – including her husband Dave and two young sons, Matthew and Ethan – screamed with her. Her stone slowly trundled along the lightning-fast Capital One Grand Slam ice surface. It kept sliding. And sliding. The crowd shrieked. The event management crew ...

Howard peaking right on time Ontario curling titan faces Winnipeg young guns in Oshawa OSHAWA, Ont. – Glenn Howard is soon off to the Ontario Tankard provincials, and he likes the current look of his polished curling team. The five-time defending Ontario champion (at left)  led his Coldwater, Ont. squad to an exacting 7-3 semifinal victory over defending world champion Kevin Koe of Edmonton Saturday night at the 2011 BDO Canadian Open at General Motors Centre in Oshawa. Howard, now undefeated all week, is through to Sunday's championship final (1:00pm ET on CBC-TV and CBCSports.ca) and will face Winnipeg's undefeated Mike McEwen, who eliminated city rival Jeff Stoughton 6-4 in the other semi. Stoughton had played giant-killer in the quarterfinals by disposing of defending champion Kevin Martin of Edmonton by a 5-3 scoreline. It marked Stoughton's second victory over Martin in four years, with the first victory since 2007 coming at the Grey Power® World Cup of Curling at ...

Winnipeg veteran earns his second Martin conquest in four years OSHAWA, Ont. – "Man, those guys are good." Steve Gould has been through the curling wars. The longtime lead for Winnipeg curling skip Jeff Stoughton, Gould has won two Briers and one world championship in a lengthy career that has left his body battered and bruised. Despite helping Team Stoughton defeat Olympic champion Kevin Martin 5-3 for only their second head to head win since 2007, Gould still spoke admirably of his Edmonton foes. "The difference today was the early lead," said Gould. "I don't know how many times we've been looking good for a deuce in the first end, and (Martin) somehow ends up stealing." Stoughton grabbed an opening two and held the Edmonton titans at bay through four ends. Martin managed to steal a point in the fifth end following an outrageous shot, and the game was tied at two apiece. Stoughton blanked the sixth end and then gambled, and won, in the seventh. Electing a tricky takeout rathe ...

Brandon curling foursome goes from 0-3 to BDO Canadian Open playoffs OSHAWA, Ont. – For a man who just competed in two morning tiebreakers, Brandon curling skip Rob Fowler looked remarkably chipper. Four consecutive wins and a playoff berth into the $100,000 BDO Canadian Open will do that to a guy. Fowler and Co. defeated Toronto's John Epping 3-1 and then Mark Bice of Sarnia, Ont. by a 5-2 count in abbreviated six-end matches Saturday morning to reach the quarterfinals (3:00pm ET on CBC-TV and CBCSports.com). Fowler will battle Glenn Howard of Coldwater, Ont. and, should he win, his squad would then compete in the Saturday night semifinals – a fourth match in one day. "It was two games, but both games were only six ends long," said Fowler. "To put that into perspective, we play 10-end games at our provincials, so this was like two regular extra-end games. "It almost felt like the break between the games was like a halftime, and the other team switched their lineup for the secon ...
