Brendan Bottcher and Geoff Walker are sticking together for next season.

Bottcher and Walker, who played with skip Brad Gushue, have linked up with Jacob and Tanner Horgan, formerly with skip John Epping.

The new Alberta-based team was announced Monday on social media. Bottcher is returning to skipping with Walker at lead, Tanner Horgan at second and Jacob Horgan at third.

"With talent throughout the lineup and no shortage of big-game experience, this is a team that brings together championship pedigree, elite shot-making, front-end excellence, and a serious competitive drive," the team said.

"Each of us brings something different to the ice, and we believe this combination gives us a great opportunity to compete at the highest level. We are excited to come together as a team and get to work."

Bottcher, from Spruce Grove, Alta., won a Brier title and three Grand Slam of Curling titles as a skip before joining forces with third Marc Kennedy, second Brett Gallant and lead Ben Hebert in 2022. The team captured two Grand Slams together, but opted to move on without Bottcher in 2024 to play with skip Brad Jacobs. Bottcher joined Team Gushue during the following season after they parted ways with second E.J. Harnden.

Walker spent 15 seasons with Team Gushue, winning an Olympic bronze medal, a world championship, six Brier titles and 14 Grand Slams.

The Horgan brothers played with Epping for the past two years, representing Northern Ontario at the Brier last season. They finished as runners-up at playdowns this year. Jacob Horgan served as the alternate for Matt Dunstone's Manitoba team at the Brier and captured the title.
