Wayne Middaugh (born September 20, 1967 in Brampton, Ontario) is a Canadian curler from Victoria Harbour, Ontario. He is the only player to have won the Canadian Mens Curling Championship (known as the Brier) at 3 different positions: Skip (1998), Vice (2012), and Second (1993).

Career

Middaugh is a two-time world champion, once as second for Russ Howard in 1993 and as a skip in 1998. He has competed in eight Briers — in 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994 as Russ Howard's second, in 1998, 2001 and 2005 as a skip and in 2012 as third on the Glenn Howard rink — winning the title in 1993, 1998 and 2012. On top of this, Middaugh has won seven TSN Skins Games, was the World Curling Tour Money leader for three seasons and has won four World Curling Tour Players Championships. He is the COO / General Manager at the Port Carling Golf & Country Club and is a co-owner of two M&M Meat Shops in Brampton. He is married to former Ontario women's champion Sherry Middaugh.

In March 2007, Jon Mead was announced as the Middaugh team's replacement for Wayne's cousin Peter Corner at the third position. He left the team in April 2010 to rejoin with his former skip Jeff Stoughton.

Following the retirement of Richard Hart from the Glenn Howard rink, Howard announced that Middaugh would replace Hart as his third. Middaugh would have immediate success with his new team, qualifying for the 2012 Tim Hortons Brier where the rink lost only one game during the event, and defeated Alberta's Kevin Koe in the final. Middaugh became the first curler to win the Brier at three different positions. In addition to the 2012 title, Middaugh was the winner of the annual Ford Hot Shots skills and shot-making competition that precedes the start of round-robin play.
