Olsons Curling Achievements
The list of E.B. Olsons achievements stretches beyond the drawing board
and onto the curling rink. As a top-ranked athlete for much of his life,
he won many curling tournaments including the Saskatoon Bonspiel in 1916, Nipawins $12,000 Bonspiel in 1948 and the Alberta Curling Association
Bonspiel Championship in 1957. Olson and his team members were Challenge
Cup Champions in Saskatoon and winners of the California International 1st
Event in 1959. Olson has been inducted into both the Canadian Curling Hall
of Fame and the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame for his contributions to the
sport of curling.
