The Victoria Curling Club seems set for a run at the B.C. championship three-peat

following its second-consecutive appearance in the Brier national championship tournament.

“We’ve not talked about it yet but I will return next season. I can’t see why not,” said skip Catlin Schneider, who was backed by third Sterling Middleton, second Jason Ginter and lead Alex Horvath on the B.C.-champion VCC rink.“We were close. A couple of very close games didn’t go our way. If they had, we would have been in the playoffs. And we were one of the youngest rinks in the Brier against guys who have been to four, five, eight Briers. Some of these other rinks are getting up in age.

It was the fourth Brier for Schneider after being part of Saskatchewan-champion rinks at three previous Briers. Schneider received a lot of attention the past week, including nationally, as a local Regina guy playing in B.C. colours.The Schneider rink was the sixth from the VCC to play in the Brier following Gauthier last year, Dean Joanisse in 2007 and 2001, Tim Horrigan in 1980 and Tony Gutoski in 1958.
