Don Duguid was curling before the Allies took Berlin. In 1943, at 8 years old, Don and brothers Gerry and Lorne would throw rocks at the CPR Curling Club where their father was the ice-maker. Initially Don fell out of the hack with two feet, but eventually his father helped him develop the original Manitoba tuck delivery that is still seen today. His parents moved him to the Granite curling club and at twenty he was recruited by Howard Wood Sr, then 70 years young. There was a Brier appearance with Howie Wood Jr. in 1957 and a win with Terry Braunstein in 1965, but by the late 60s Don was ready to spend more time at the office. Then Rod Hunter called and asked Duguie to skip him, Jim Pettapiece and Bryan Wood and within 18 months the squad would capture two Canadian and World Championships. Don will share experiences from his playing days and curling schools through to his time as an announcer with the CBC (and later NBC Sports). We'll also get Don's take on the modern era and speculate where curling might be headed in the future. You can find more on Don Duguid in "The Brier" by Bob Weeks and Sean Grassie's "King of the Rings". Watch him on YouTube at the 1971 Brier , and you can also hear his coverage in many curling broadcasts from 1972 until the Olympics in 2010. You can also see Don in a ceremony from years ago in this Duguid Team Speech.
