4-time Canadian, world curling champion Glenn Howard announces retirement

Glenn Howard announced his retirement from competitive curling on Tuesday, ending a career that included four world titles and four Canadian championships.

The 61-year-old from Midland, Ont., cited a nagging injury to his left knee as the reason for his retirement in a social media post.

"I never thought this day would come as I was convinced I would play the game forever," Howard said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Unfortunately, my knee is telling me I have gone past my expiry date.

"It is always difficult coming to this decision as my mind knows there is so much more fuel left in the tank, but my body cannot keep up."

I bet you didn’t think this day would ever come!
