Last year, Howard encountered many difficulties at the regionals and was forced to work his way along the playoff trail in search of the Briar by taking the Challenge Round route; the same way he took last year. In their five games Howard won three and lost two. The two losses were at the hands of provincially ranked curlers. Paul Savage and Gary Smockum. Howard felt as a team that although they didn't curl that poorly, they were 10 - 15 per cent below where they should have been. Howard found the ice tricky and slow but stated that he felt he didn't read the ice properly. Howard now will test the waters in the challenge round in Hairieton January 29 to February 2 where 16 teams will fight it out to move on to the provincials to be held in Chatham in February. responded at 3:21 with assists going to Mark Dubeau and Rob Desroches.
