Mooibroek and Mitchell Add Purcell and Lydiate to Complete New-Look Roster

Sam Mooibroek and Scott Mitchell are building for the future, teaming up with Owen Purcell and Gavin Lydiate ahead of the upcoming season. Purcell arrives with an impressive track record, having skipped his Nova Scotia squad to bronze medals at both the 2022 World Juniors and the 2023 World University Games before claiming the 2025 Nova Scotia Men's Tankard. Lydiate is no stranger to the group, having served as the team's alternate at the 2025 Brier, and adds further depth through his experience at multiple Canadian Junior and U Sports University Championships. With a seasoned core and two proven additions, Team Mooibroek heads into the season with plenty of reason for optimism.
