Mike McEwen is a household name when it comes to the roaring game and his curling track record includes sweeping success while representing Brandon University.
The former two-time Manitoba junior champion made a seamless transition to the university ranks and was recognized as BU's Male Athlete of the Year in 2002-2003.
McEwen led his BU rink to a CIS championship in 2002 and followed that by representing Canada at the World University Games in Italy the next year.
McEwen skipped the Canadian rink, which included current teammate Denni Neufeld, former BU student Sheldon Wettig, along with Brier and world champion Nolan Thiessen of Brandon.
The Canadians finished the round-robin with a record of 6-and-3 to advance to the playoffs. The McEwen foursome then beat Great Britain 6-4 in the semifinals and defeated Switzerland by the same score to claim the gold medal.
McEwen now curls out of Winnipeg where his winning ways have continued at an incredible rate. His resume includes six Grand Slam titles and a Manitoba provincial men's championship in 2016, which earned him a berth at the Brier.
His remarkable run serves as motivation for the new crop of Bobcat curlers with the sport returning to BU this year for the first time in more then a decade.
