A. Paul "The Round Mound of Come Around"[1] Savage (born June 25, 1947, in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian curler, world champion and Olympic medallist.
In 1983 he played third for Ed Werenich's team when they won the Labatt Brier and then won the 1983 World Men's Championship as Team Canada.[2][3] He received a silver medal at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano with the Mike Harris rink, where he was their alternate.[4][5] He is considered to be one of the best left-handers to play the game.
Savage made seven appearances at the Brier, the Canadian men's national championship, between 1970 and 1988, five times as skip of the Ontario rink and twice as third. He was named to the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame in 1988.[3]
In 2009, Savage and the rest of his 1983 world champion team, which included Werenich, John Kawaja and Neil Harrison were inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame.[6]
