Reid Carruthers

A 2011 World Champion and eight-time provincial champion, Reid Carruthers has established himself as a dominant force in Canadian curling, now also serving as a prominent coach. Carruthers first showcased his leadership by skipping Manitoba at the 2003 Canadian Junior Curling Championships before serving as an alternate for the Kerry Burtnyk rink at the 2008 Brier, where the team finished fifth. His national recognition significantly rose in 2010 when he joined Jeff Stoughton’s team as second. With Stoughton, he secured his first Manitoba provincial title at the 2011 Safeway Championship, immediately followed by a victory at the 2011 Tim Hortons Brier.

For the 2023–24 season, Carruthers teamed up with 2014 Olympic Gold medallist Brad Jacobs, a partnership that swiftly led to another significant victory at the 2024 Viterra Championship. Beyond his playing career, Carruthers has embraced a prominent coaching role for Team Kerri Einarson, who are four-time national women’s champions and currently ranked fifth in the world. He intends to prioritize this coaching role moving forward, leveraging his extensive championship experience to mentor elite talent.
