Men's Curling
The Cougars are resurrecting curling teams decades after strong showings at the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) championships in the late 80’s. Between 1986 and 1989, the Cougars curling teams won two gold medals, three silver and two bronze at the national championships.
The teams will compete in a weekly league at the Brandon Curling Club and a selection of bonspiels to help prepare them for a shot at the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) nationals in Fredericton in March.
