Three-time Brier champion Stoughton named national men’s team coach
Jeff Stoughton helped guide Canada’s mixed doubles curling team to Olympic gold at the Winter Games. He’s hoping to do the same thing with the national four-man team at the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing.
Stoughton, a three-time Brier champion, was named national men’s coach and program manager on Tuesday as Curling Canada announced a number of changes to its high-performance staff as it prepares for the upcoming quadrennial.
The 54-year-old replaces Rick Lang, who will remain with the federation as a performance consultant. Stoughton will continue to oversee the mixed doubles national program for the time being.
In addition, four-time world champion Scott Pfeifer was named as a performance consultant and former Team Rachel Homan coach Adam Kingsbury was named as a mental performance consultant and information/technology manager.
