John Aston is a former curler from Grenfell, SK who now resides in Regina. Once a member of the highly touted Dean Clark rink, Aston was a young gun with loads of potential. Arguably one of the 147 best skips in Saskatchewan, Jeff Hartung, once proclaimed that the young Aston and his teammates had a bright future if they could stick together. Unfortunately after winning the 2009 Highland Club Championship, possibly one of the most coveted accomplishments in all of curling, the team couldn’t stand the pressure of success and parted ways.

Aston continued his career for a brief stint as a 4th line plug on both the Brent Gedak and Randy Bryden rinks racking up numerous miles and high BA level but no provincial titles.

Career Highlights


 * 3rd place finish in the 2008 Grenfell Classic Total points spiel
 * Humboldt SCT event winner of the back bumper sitter award
 * Nearly caused Pat Simmons to quit curling and never achieve Brier success
