Howard, along with Gushue (who throws last rocks), lead Jamie Korab and third Mark Nichols, went on to win the trials, giving them the right to represent Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics,[6] where they won the gold medal, defeating Finland 10–4 in the final match.

[9] He was named a Member of the Order of Canada and inducted into the WCF Hall of Fame in 2015.

Howard stepped into the broadcast booth for the first time in 2001, serving as an analyst for TSN’s coverage of the Brier.
