Don Duguid, 90, on July 15. A three-time winner of the Canadian Brier and two-time World Curling champion, Duguid made his foray into broadcasting in 1972 after retiring from competition for good. He was teamed with fellow curling enthusiast Don Chevrier on CBC’s “Curling Classic,” a Saturday afternoon program that ran until 1981. He was also a commentator for major Canadian and international curling events, covering the 1992 and 1998 Olympic Games with CBC, and the 2002 and 2006 Games for NBC. A pioneer in the space, Duguid was the first to mic curlers during live broadcasts. He was an inductee of the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame, World Curling Hall of Fame, Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame and Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame. He was made a member of the Order of Manitoba in 2014.
