Career

While briefly living in Calgary,[2] Hodgson's junior years saw him skip the Albertan team at the 2011 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, finishing in sixth place with a 6–6 win-loss record. He also won a gold medal at the 2007 Canada Winter Games.

Hodgson would later move to Airdrie, Alberta and played third for Charley Thomas for a year. Following that season, he joined Reid Carruthers as the lead on his new team in 2014. The team represented Manitoba at the 2015 Tim Hortons Brier, finishing in 10th place. While at the Brier, he won the Ford Hot Shots competition, taking home a 2015 Ford F-150 XLT.[3] The next season the team won the 2016 Humpty's Champions Cup, Hodgson's first Grand Slam title. Later that year they would win the 2016 Canada Cup of Curling.

Personal life

Hodgson was a columnist for The Curling News,[4] and also commentates on CurlingZone. He is trained as a chef and attended the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and Lacombe Composite High School. He owns his own curling apparel business called "Dynasty Curling Ltd".[5]

gollark: Anyway, I *guess* just using a long list would kind of work if you have one conveniently available somewhere?
gollark: I disagree. It's easy enough for a human to classify it in a roughly consistent way, but it's nontrivial to automate that judgement.
gollark: Well, the ideal would be an automatic system which just randomly chooses anything people consider a "political ideology", based on how much it's being talked about.
gollark: * automatically → easily automatically
gollark: Which is the problem.
