Sean Grassie (born October 18, 1978)[1] is a Canadian curler from Winnipeg, Manitoba.[2]

Career

As a junior, Grassie and his rink of Scott Madams, Ton Tomyk and Scott Grassie won the Manitoba Junior Men's Championship in 1999.[3] The team represented Manitoba at the 1999 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, where they finished with a 6-6 record.[4]

Grassie has found a lot of his success in mixed curling. He has won two Manitoba Mixed titles, in 2009 and 2011. In 2009, his rink of Allison Nimik (Flaxey), Ross Derksen and Kendra Green would represent Manitoba at the 2009 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship. The team finished the round robin with a 10-1 record, in first place. This put them in the final, against Ontario, which they won. Grassie and Nimik then went on to represent Canada at the 2009 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship. The pair won their pool, winning all eight games, however lost in the semi-final to Hungary. They recovered in the bronze medal game, defeating China to finish third.

Grassie and a new mixed rink of Tracey Lavery, Scott McCamis and Calleen Neufeld represented Manitoba at the 2012 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship. Grassie led Manitoba to an 8-5 record, which was not good enough to make the playoffs.

Grassie won his first World Curling Tour event at the 2014 Mother Club Fall Curling Classic.

In addition to being an accomplished curler, Grassie also wrote a book about the history of the MCA Bonspiel, called "Kings of the Rings".[2]
