Team Richter from the Beausejour Curling Club has won the men’s division at the 2026 Manitoba Curling Club Provincial Championships, securing a spot to represent the province at the national level. The team competed on their home ice in Beausejour, Manitoba, from March 26 to March 29, 2026, to earn the title.
The winning team is comprised of skip Justin Richter, along with teammates Doug Hamblin, Matt Kaminski, and Brendan Honkey. Following their provincial victory, the group will travel to compete at the national championship held at the St. Thomas Curling Club in St. Thomas, Ontario, from November 22 to November 28, 2026. This marks the first time St. Thomas has hosted the national event.
The local curling organization has deep roots in the community, with the club first established in 1930. After a fire destroyed the facility in 1986, the club was rebuilt as a modern six-sheet venue and opened in 1987 as part of the Beausejour Sportsplex located at 360 Veterans Lane.
The national event, organized by Curling Canada, remains a major competition for grassroots curlers across the country. Historically, Manitoba teams have seen success on this stage, having secured a leading four women’s titles in previous years. Team Richter will now look to build on that legacy when they head to Ontario later this year.
