Ken Watson

Ken Watson

:"Ken Watson is not to be confused with Ken Watson, the 1999 Canadian Senior curling champion."

James Kenneth Watson (August 12, 1904 - July 26, 1986) was a Canadian curler.

Watson was born in Minnedosa, Manitoba and moved to Winnipeg later. He was the first man to skip his rink to three Brier championships in 1936, 1942 and 1949.

After his career as a curler ended, he became a sports broadcaster, co-hosting CBC Championship Curling with Alex Trebek in 1966.
