Russell Howard Jackman (October 10, 1929 – July 17, 2025) was a Canadian curler. He was the lead of the 1953 Brier Champion team (skipped by Ab Gowanlock), representing Manitoba.[2][3]
Jackman began curling in 1944.[4]
Jackman and his wife Eleanor were due to marry on March 5, 1953, but their wedding had to be postponed following his rink's victory at the 1953 Manitoba championship, qualifying the team for that year's Brier which was held the same week of their planned wedding.[1][5]
He was inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in 2019.[6]
