The 2013 Brier and 2014 Olympic champion will take over the rink previously skipped by Calgary's Brendan Bottcher, it was officially announced on Wednesday night. "We are extremely excited to announce that Brad Jacobs will be joining our team for the upcoming curling season," the team said in a statement on X.
"Brendan Bottcher has been an outstanding teammate and friend. We thank him for the time we spent together, during which we won multiple Grand Slams and bronze at the last two Briers," "We know that Brendan, who is an elite skip and has already represented Canada at the Worlds, will have great success wherever his curling pursuits take him. We wish him the very best."
After representing Northern Ontario at 14 Briers, the 38-year-old native of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., took a brief hiatus from competitive curling following the Lethbridge Brier in 2022. Team Bottcher posted a 53-21 record in 2023-24, finishing No. 2 in Canada and No. 4 in the world. They won three Tour events and lost two Grand Slam finals.
