Team Ford/Campbell has strong showing at curling nationals

Chatham’s Oliver Campbell and his teammate Katie Ford, had a strong showing at the 2026 Canadian Mixed Curling Doubles championship that finished up this past weekend in British Columbia.

The Ford/Campbell duo lost a close game to Zoe Cinnamon and Johnson Tao in the semi-final. Ford/Campbell jumped out to an 8-2 lead after four ends, but gave up four points on the last shot in the final end to lose 11-9.

The mixed doubles event featured 28 teams in four round-robin pools

It was a good week for the Ford/Campbell team, winning their pool with a 6-0 record and winning in a comeback 7-5 quarterfinal playoff game to go into the semi-final undefeated.

Ford/Campbell finished the curling season as the second ranked team in Canada and in the Top 10 in the world.

This is the third season for the Ford/Campbell duo, who curl out of Kitchener/Waterloo, where Campbell works as a Chartered Public Accountant. They made it to nationals last year in Prince Edward Island and made it to the playoffs.
