After a seven-year run as one of the top foursomes in men’s curling, Team Brad Jacobs will have a different look next season.
Ryan Fry, who took a six-week leave of absence after his disqualification from a Red Deer bonspiel in November, will be leaving the team at the end of this season.
The Northern Ontario team reached the semifinal at the Tim Hortons Brier last week but dropped a 5-4 decision to Team Wild Card’s Brendan Bottcher. "What an incredible seven years it’s been skipping this team — we’ve been through it all and I couldn’t have imagined doing it with anyone else," Jacobs said. "Although I am grateful for the amazing memories we’ve made, I’m more grateful for the friendships we formed, and I will cherish that the most."
All four players were disqualified for what organizers called unsportsmanlike behaviour resulting from excessive drinking. Organizers said Fry broke three brooms and that the team used foul language and was disruptive to other players on the ice.
