Veteran skip Glenn Howard will be out of action indefinitely due to a left knee injury. Howard says his knee "seized up" over the weekend at the Nufloors Penticton Curling Classic bonspiel in Penticton, B.C.
The 61-year-old skip guided his team to a 3-1 record before he was forced to sit out the last preliminary round game and the playoffs.
His son, vice Scott Howard, took over as skip and guided the Penetanguishene, Ont.,-based team to five straight wins and the title.
The three-man rink defeated Calgary's Brendan Bottcher in the semifinals before topping American John Shuster — with Chris Plys at skip — in the final of the $100,000 competition on Monday.
