Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on February 19, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Russ Howard! You're the curling legend who swept your way into our hearts and slid straight to Olympic gold in Turin 2006. Who knew yelling "Hurry hard!" could become Canada's unofficial anthem?

From mastering those strategic shots on ice to becoming a beloved voice behind the mic, you've shown us that age is just another end of play—always ready for one more rock down memory lane. May this birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and fewer broom burns than usual!

Here's hoping you celebrate like it's an extra-end victory: dramatic, unforgettable—and perfectly curled. Cheers!
