 Sudbury's Jake and Tanner Horgan will ply their trade elsewhere next season as John Epping and Ian MacMillan explore options for the future. With the Winter Olympics set to begin in days, the end of the quadrennial push for the Cortina-Milan games is over for most teams, and the mad rush will soon begin as teams begin announcing changes with a focus on four years from now. In a release through their team soclal media account on Tuesday, the team said: "After two great seasons together - including six world curling tour victories and climbing to number 5 in the World Rankings during the season - Team Epping will be making some changes moving forward. Jake and Tanner will be leaving the team to explore new opportunities. We would like to thank them for their hard work, dedication, and contributions during their time with Team Epping, and we wish them nothing but success in the next chapter of their curling careers. Ian and John will now explore options as the team looks ahead, with a focus on building on recent successes and continuing the push to remain in the world's top 10. Stay tuned for a new-look Team Epping heading into the 2026/27 season. As always, chasing our dreams and successes wouldn't be possible without the incredible support of our family, friends, and fans - and, of course, our amazing sponsors and partners who allow us to compete week after week. More updates will be shared soon." Epping went 40-18 on the season, averaging 8.13 points per game while allowing 6.00 per game, and currently sits ranked 8th overall in the World Curling Team Rankings. Epping won the AMJ Campbell Shorty Jenkins Classic in Cornwall in September while reaching three more semifinals and three quarterfinals. Epping's season ended after finishing second in the Northern Ontario Men's Curling Provincials, losing 6-5 in the final to Sudbury's Sandy MacEwan. Each player will carry 25% of their points total from the 2025/26 season (62.5) into the start of next season. |
