Veteran skip John Epping leading young team that’s enjoying some early success
Two early-season titles have quietly helped the new-look Team John Epping emerge as one of the more interesting storylines this curling season.
Epping joined forces with the Horgan brothers — Jacob and Tanner — and lead Ian McMillan to create a foursome with an intriguing combination of experience, youth and potential.
After missing the playoffs in their first two events, they ran the table at bonspiels in Waterloo, Ont., and Toronto to help fuel a rather quiet rise to No. 10 in the year-to-date world rankings.
“We want to keep sliding under the radar here,” Epping said with a chuckle in a recent interview.
