Team Sherry Middaugh from the Barrie Curling Club has won the 2026 Senior Women’s Provincial Curling Championship in Oakville, Ontario. This victory marks the second year in a row that the local group has taken home the provincial title in the division for athletes aged 50 and older.
The team is led by skip Sherry Middaugh and includes members Karri-Lee Grant, Melissa Foster, and Jane Hooper-Perroud. The group is supported by coach Wayne Middaugh, a well-known local athlete and three-time world champion.
Following their continued success, the group will represent Canada on the international stage next month. According to World Curling, the team will travel to Geneva, Switzerland, to compete in the World Senior Curling Championships from April 25 to May 2, 2026.
The team has seen a high level of success over the last year. Records from Curling Canada show that this same group also won the 2025 Canadian Senior Curling Championship. It was that national victory that earned them their upcoming spot at the world championships in Switzerland.
The athletes train and compete out of the Barrie Curling Club, which serves as a central spot for winter sports in the community. Their latest win in Oakville highlights the talent found within the local club and secures their position as one of the top veteran teams in the country.
