2010 Canada Cup of Curling
2010 Canadian event
The 2010 Canada Cup of Curling was held December 1–5, 2010 at the Medicine Hat Arena in Medicine Hat, Alberta.
The Glenn Howard rink won their first Canada Cup on the men's side, defeating Olympic gold medallist Kevin Martin in the final, 10–7. It had been 15 years since Howard and third Wayne Middaugh played together in a major curling final, with Middaugh subbing in for regular third Richard Hart. The team took home $25,000 for the win in addition to $4,000 won from wins in the round robin. Glenn Howard's win marks the first time that a non-Alberta men's team won a Canada Cup.
In the women's final, Stefanie Lawton won her second cup, defeating Olympic silver medallist Cheryl Bernard, 7–3. Her team also took home $25,000 plus $3,200 for her round robin wins. The win qualified the team for the 2011 Canada Cup of Curling and the 2012 Continental Cup of Curling.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “2010 Canada Cup of Curling” as 2010 Canadian event. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as 2010 Canadian event. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4616851. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2009.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
