Earle Morris is a Canadian curler from Ottawa, Ontario. He is the only curler to play for three different provinces at the Brier.[1] Currently he is the coach of the Jennifer Jones rink[2] and the Australian national team. He is the father of World Champion curler John Morris and is the inventor of "the stabilizer" curling broom.
Morris grew up in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, the grandson of 1933 provincial champion skip Cliff McLaughlin. Earle Morris graduated from the Royal Military College of Canada in 1967. He was a great athlete growing up, excelling in both baseball and in curling.
Working with the military, Morris moved around a lot, giving him the opportunity to curl out of many places. He made it to his first Brier in 1980, curling out of the CFB Winnipeg Curling Club, and representing Manitoba. At the Brier, he finished 6-5. Two years later, he made the 1982 Brier, playing third for Don Aitken. At the '82 Brier, Morris was a member of the Quebec team, curling out of the CFB St-Jean Curling Club. Quebec finished with a 5-6 record. Finally, in 1985, Morris played in his third and final Brier. This time, he skipped the Ontario team out of the R.C.N. (Navy) Curling Club in Ottawa. His record was once again 5-6.
Morris would stay in Ottawa, where he would retire and go onto a coaching career. He has coached three Canadian junior championship teams (his son in 1998 and 1999 and Rachel Homan in 2010).
He is married to Maureen, and they have three children.
