John Epping is searching for two new players for next season.

Team Epping announced on Tuesday that Jake and Tanner Horgan, who played third and second on the club, are leaving 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," the team said in a social media post.

Epping, who lives in Toronto and has won three Grand Slam titles as a skip, joined forces with the Horgan brothers and lead Ian McMillan in 2024.

The team won five tour titles in their first season together and represented Northern Ontario at the Brier.

The Sudbury, Ont., team fell short of returning to the Canadian men's curling championship after losing to Team Sandy MacEwan in the Northern Ontario playdowns final last month.

Epping and McMillan are now exploring their options.
