Middaugh Keeps It in the Family with New-Look Rink for 2026-27

Curling's most famous family name is staying close to home. Sherry Middaugh is back in the skip's hack for the 2026-27 season, assembling a roster that's as much a family reunion as a team announcement -- with daughter Emily Middaugh at second, daughter Kelly Middaugh at lead, and veteran Wayne Middaugh behind the bench as coach. Third Megan Smith rounds out the lineup. Sherry comes off a remarkable senior season that saw her win the 2025 Canadian Senior Curling Championships and represent Canada at the World Seniors in Geneva, while Kelly brings two Scotties Tournament of Hearts appearances to the fold. It's a new chapter for one of Ontario's most storied curling families -- and with Wayne calling plays from the coaching box, this rink will have no shortage of experience to draw on.
