Mar 12, 2026 | 11:14 PM

Saskatchewan skip Mike McEwen is looking for another team.

McEwen, 45, took to social media Thursday night to announce that after three seasons with Colton Flasch, Kevin Marsh and Daniel Mars that “the team has chosen a different path without me next season.”

McEwen, of Brandon, Man., and the rink joined forces before the 2023-24 season. The squad reached the final of the 2024 Brier in Regina before losing 9-5 to defending-champion Brad Gushue.

McEwen and Co. posted a 5-3 record in Pool B at this year’s Brier in St. John’s, Newfoundland, missing the playoffs.

In the post, McEwen gave no indication that retirement is on the horizon.

“I may be getting older, but the fire’s still very much there,” he said. “The rocks don’t seem to care.”

McEwen is now a free agent going into the next season.
