Last event of the season with the boys 👊

@kel_bragg E.J. and I won together in 2013 too.

@RyanHarnden19 Question? Is this a first? Two brothers win the Brier together or did Russ and Kevin play on the same team and win? Google .....🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

🏆 BRIER CHAMPIONS! 🏆 An incredible week, an incredible team effort, and a game none of us will forget. Matt said it was time to dance, and dance we did! 👊🏽🥌🔥 What an unforgettable week! We are honoured to represent Canada at the Worlds 💛🦬🤍 Score brought to you by Kioti

The trade is one for none. Which is to say I’m exchanging my semi-retired TSN life of the last five years — doing the World Junior Championships, NHL Draft Rankings, a handful of Toronto Maple Leaf broadcasts, TradeCentre and Free Agent Frenzy — for a fully-retired life of doing absolutely nothing. Well, nothing work related anyway. Today’s Free Agent Frenzy is the last working day in a 48-year professional career that included stops at The Sault Star, The Globe and Mail, The Hockey News (twice), The Toronto Star, TSN, ESPN and NBC, amongst others. It’s been quite a ride. I’ll be 69 years old in August. I decided a few months ago it’s as nice a time as any to call it a career with the expiry of my current contract. If I had been so inclined to continue doing the World Juniors and draft rankings etc. at TSN, the opportunity was certainly there for me to do so. And I’m so grateful to TSN for that. Honestly, though, I am looking forward to waking up on Christmas morning this year and NOT flying to Minneapolis-St. Paul for the World Juniors. I’m also looking forward to doing more travelling with my wife Cindy; having more time to give my sons Mike and Shawn unwanted (and unneeded) advice; playing even more golf than I am now; and having my two wonderful grandchildren Blake and Gunnar running my show on a full-time basis. After almost 50 years in the business, there are far too many people to thank individually, so I won’t even try to name any lest I leave some out. Just know that I’ve been blessed to work for, work with and work against so many great people who gave me boundless opportunity, incredible support and intense motivation. The nearly five decades have gone by in the blink of an eye. I certainly never set out to be the TSN Hockey Insider. It never occurred to me that I would work in television. All I wanted to be when I grew up was a hockey writer, to have a “job” to watch, write and talk about the game. You know, tell a few stories and try to capture the spirit of the thing. Mission accomplished, I guess. I couldn’t say goodbye now without a special thanks to everyone at TSN, past and present. I first started showing up on the network in or around 1986-87. In the 1990s, I was working full-time hours at TSN but still had a full time newspaper job, too. Since 2000, 25 years ago, TSN has been my primary professional home. It’s been a very special place on so many levels. The best part of TSN has always been the people. The best people doing the best work. What an honour to be one small part of the unsurpassed excellence that is TSN. Every time I’ve walked out of Studio Six at the end of Free Agent Frenzy on July 1, I’ve said to myself: “It doesn’t get any better than that.” And it doesn’t. That’s especially true on this Canada Day because I’m so very proud to be a Canadian. 🇨🇦 I’m a very lucky guy. I owe the game of hockey, and all the people within it — the players, coaches, managers, executives, scouts, agents et al — so much; I owe my family and friends even more.  Finally, thank you to anyone who has ever read, watched or listened to any of my work in any form at any outlet over the last 48 years. It’s been a privilege to share some information with you all, and try to have a few laughs along the way on social media or whatever they’re calling it these days. I’ve cherished it all. Fully Completely. ✌️and 💕  -30-

Happy Olympic Day to our legends 🥇🇨🇦 Today we celebrate the spirit of the Games and honour three members of Team Dunstone who know that feeling better than most — Ryan, EJ, and Coach Caleb, gold medallists at the 2014 Olympics. Your hard work, heart, and dedication inspire us every day. #OlympicDay #TeamCanada #TeamDunstone #GoldStandard #CurlingCanada

Time to drop the really big bomb… Save this for later… the truth will come out!

Team Dunstone has qualified for the Men’s 2025 Montana’s Canadian Curling Trials, scheduled for November 22-30 at Halifax’s Scotiabank Centre. The Trials will determine the men’s (and women’s) teams that will be nominated to the Canadian Olympic Committee to be part of the Canadian team for the 2026 Winter Games. We earned our spot as the highest non-qualified team based on the 2024-25 CTRS standings. Six other teams were also confirmed today. The Home Hardware Canadian Curling Pre-Trials winner in October will fill the eighth and final position at the Montana’s Trials.

That’s a wrap on our 2024-25 season. Thanks to the @grandslamcurl, their volunteers and the curling fans in Toronto for your support over the years. This has been a good season of curling for Team Dunstone. We’re proud of how we finished the second half: A win at the Astec Safety Challenge, a Montana’s Brier Silver and two GSOC Semifinal appearances. We’re excited to see what 2025-26 will bring. Matt heads off to Nashville next week for the TCG All-Star Game and celebration, and the rest of us will get an early start on summer. A big thanks to all of our fans, our families and great sponsors for all of your support this year. It means so much to us. -Matt, Ryan, EJ and Colton. #WeDigDirt #TeamDunstone #curling
