There’s never been a time where Earle Morris didn’t love the sport of curling. In fact, he didn’t really have a choice while growing up.

Morris, the coach of Team Homan, grew up in Saskatchewan and watched his grandfather Cliff McLaughlin play the game. McLaughlin is a big reason why Morris got involved with curling in the first place.
Little did he know, it was only the beginning of a passion that would make the surname Morris a household name among Canadian curling fans
McLaughin, Morris and his son John have all skipped a team at the Brier. There isn’t a single family in Canada who can claim that. It’s something Morris takes pride in.
“That’s really important to me and it goes back to the love of curling that my grandfather passed on to me and that I am very pleased to say I’ve passed on to John,” he said.I
