Bottcher's new Alberta rink plays Masters in Medicine Hat

Brendan Bottcher is back skipping his own team at the Grand Slam of Curling Masters in Medicine Hat, Alberta. The new Alberta-based rink pairs Bottcher with brothers Jake and Tanner Horgan and Geoff Walker.

Bottcher threw second for Brad Gushue's St. John's team for the past two seasons before returning to the skip position. The new lineup is built with the 2030 Olympic cycle in mind.

The P&H Masters runs November 3 to 8 as part of the 2026-27 Grand Slam of Curling schedule.
