Bio

Megan Balsdon was hired by head coach Sean Turriff and joined the Hawks for the 2021-22 OCAA season. The five-time Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts participant comes to Humber after four years in London, where she coached the Western Mustangs curling team from 2014 to 2018.

Balsdon's playing resume is equally as impressive as her coaching experience. After capturing the Ontario Junior Championship in 2001, Balsdon's team went on to win the Canadian Junior Championship bronze medal. At the post-secondary level, she competed for the Western Mustangs, where she was named OUA first-team all-star and team most valuable player in 2011. That same season she was also named a CIS and OUA Academic All-Canadian.

As a curling instructor and coach, Balsdon's career has seen her travel the world, which includes three stints in Füssen, Germany as a junior camp instructor. She also coached Team Jill Mouzar to an Ontario Scotties second-place finish in 2013.

A biomechanical engineer, Balsdon graduated from the University of Guelph in 2006 with a Bachelor of Engineering Science before earning her Master of Engineering Science for Western University in 2012.
