Hugh Ronald Alexander Millikin (born 4 July 1957 in North Vancouver, British Columbia) is an Australian curler originally from Ottawa, Ontario.

Career

In 1986, while still residing in the Canadian province of Ontario, Millikin played second position for Dave Van Dine's Canadian Mixed Curling Championship team.

Millikin would later move to Australia and has skipped the Australian team to nine Pacific Curling Championships titles. Millikin has also participated in nine World Curling Championships. The teams top placements have been sixth place in 1992, 1993 and 2008. Millikin also went to the 1992 Winter Olympics, skipping the Australian team to a seventh-place finish in the demonstration event.

Millikin and his team regularly travel back to his hometown Ottawa to practice and to participate in local curling tournaments. Their team coach is Earle Morris, father of John Morris.

At the 2008 World Men's Curling Championship, he skipped Australia to a 5-6 record, the most wins ever for Australia. The team came an end short from forcing a tie-breaker.

The Australian team missed qualification for the 2010 Winter Olympics by 0.5 points, finishing ranked 11th in the world, with only the top ten qualifying for the games.[1]

Current team mates

Millikin has skipped the Senior Australian team in the past, last participating in the 2015 World Senior Curling Championships in Sochi. His teammates were:

  • Lead: Robert Gagnon
  • Second: Tim McMahon
  • Third: Wyatt Buck
  • Alternate: John Anderson
