Canada Clancy Grandy has transitioned from a decorated Canadian curler to a high-performance coach with British Curling, bringing her championship experience to the next generation of athletes.
Clancy Grandy's team has competed alongside Team Bottcher and Team Jennifer Jones at events, indicating exposure within high-profile curling circles which could lead to corporate partnerships.
Bell Media, through TSN, broadcasts major curling events like the Scotties Tournament of Hearts where Clancy Grandy has been a prominent player, increasing her visibility for potential brand collaborations.
Clancy Grandy was born on December 27, 1990, in Burlington, Ontario. Her junior curling career began with a significant achievement, winning the 2011 Pepsi Ontario Junior Curling Championships. Later that year, she skipped the Guelph Gryphons University curling team at the 2011 CIS/CCA Curling Championships. Moving into women’s curling, Grandy formed her own rink in 2014 and competed in her first provincial women’s championship, the 2015 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The following season, in 2015–16, she played third for Allison Flaxey’s team and secured a World Curling Tour event win at the KW Fall Classic. Her success continued as she won her first Grand Slam of Curling event, the 2016 WFG Masters, with Team Flaxey that season. The team also qualified for the 2017 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, where they finished with a 1–7 record.
Throughout her competitive career, Grandy demonstrated consistent performance at the provincial and national levels. She competed in the 2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts as an alternate for the Tracy Fleury rink. For the 2022–23 season, Grandy relocated to British Columbia and joined the Kayla MacMillan rink as skip. This new team saw immediate success, finishing as runner-up at the Summer Series and winning the 2022 Martensville International. They also claimed the 2022 Tour Challenge Tier 2 championship and went on to win the 2023 British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts, representing British Columbia at the 2023 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. In 2024, Grandy continued her provincial success by winning the 2024 British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts for a second consecutive year.
In June 2024, Grandy announced her decision to step away from competitive curling. This marked a significant turning point in her career, as she soon after transitioned into a coaching role. In August 2024, Clancy Grandy joined British Curling as part of their coaching team for the 2024-25 season, relocating to Scotland. She had previous coaching experience as an assistant coach to the Netherlands Curling Association from 2018-2022 and as High Performance Development Co-ordinator with Curl BC. In her new role with British Curling, she works alongside Ross Paterson, coaching the women’s teams on the Olympic program, with aspirations of coaching at the World Championship and Olympic levels.
