John Aasand (born c. 1950) is an American curler, a 1972 World Men's silver medallist[1] and a 1972 United States men's curling champion.
That 1972 silver medallist team is best known for the "Curse of LaBonte" - one of the most famous curses in curling history. It was caused by an incident at the finals of the 1972 world men's curling championship, the 1972 Air Canada Silver Broom in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.[2][3]
Personal life
Aasand attended the University of North Dakota. He is the owner of a sportsbar in Grafton named "The Extra End", an allusion to the team's extra end loss at the 1972 Worlds. He is married and has one daughter.[4]
