A handful of Tri-City curlers walked away with a bronze medal at the Optimist U18 International Curling Championship in Edmonton last weekend.
Port Coquitlam skip Matthew McCrady joined forces with Coquitlam’s Jacob Umbach (lead position) and Zac Curtis (third position) in the victory, along with Surrey’s Liam Purgavie (second position) of Surrey and Brayen Carpenter (alternate) of Richmond.
Twelve teams competed in the tournament, which saw rinks from across Canada, the United States and even as far away as Japan.
To earn their spot in the competition, the Team BC curlers won gold at the B.C. Winter Games in Penticton in January.
