Neil Harrison (curler)

Neil Gordon "Harry" Harrison (January 23, 1949 – February 24, 2014) was a Canadian curler from Newmarket, Ontario.

[6] Harrison's father Burritt was also a curler, having played lead for Ontario at the 1952 Macdonald Brier.

They lost just one round robin game en route to winning the championship, defeating Alberta's Ed Lukowich in the final.

Again, the team lost just one match en route to winning the gold medal, defeating Germany's Keith Wendorf in the final.

Kawaja was removed from the team, replaced by Graeme McCarrel, with Savage becoming skip, and Werenich throwing third.

Harrison would later become the team's alternate, when they won the 1990 Labatt Brier and 1990 World Men's Curling Championship.

At the 1995 Labatt Brier, the team made the playoffs after winning a tie breaker match against PEI's Robert Campbell.

[11] Outside of curling, Harrison was employed as a firefighter in Scarborough, Ontario, with the Toronto Fire Services.

In 2009, Werenich, Savage, Kawaja and Harrison were inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame.
