Neufeld relishes role as third on Koe’s Alberta rink:
BRANDON, Man. – B.J. Neufeld and the rest of his Manitoba teammates stood separately around the centre sheet at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, awaiting the final shot of the 2017 Roar of the Rings Olympic curling trials.It was the evening of Dec. 10, 2017 and the Mike McEwen-led rink were one missed shot away from finally winning the big game.
Fast forward to this week in Brandon and Neufeld finds himself playing for the very skip that halted his chance at Olympic glory. “It was a big decision for me. I had to take a little bit more time away from my family as well,” said Neufeld, who has a wife and two-year-old daughter. “I have to go out there [Alberta] a few extra times throughout the year.”
Aside from winning their provincial playdowns this season, Koe and company have one win on the World Curling Tour in 2018-19, losing in three other finals.
