Don Duguid: Curling Legend Inducted | Winnipeg News

Manitoba curling legend Don Duguid, who passed away at 90 just five days before his induction into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame, leaves behind an indelible legacy as a three-time Brier champion and skip of Canada’s back-to-back world curling titles in 1970 and 1971. Beyond the ice, he revolutionized curling broadcasting—spending nearly three decades with CBC and calling Olympic Games for NBC, even pioneering microphones on curlers to bring fans closer to the action. Already honored in the Canadian, World, and Canada’s Sports Halls of Fame, plus recipients of the Order of Manitoba and Order of Canada, Duguid’s impact was profound. His son, MP Terry Duguid, paid tribute to his extraordinary life, celebrating him as both a champion and a visionary who elevated the sport through grit, talent, and enduring passion.
