I played this season on a broken ankle which hasn't been very much fun. The fellas are gonna play out the rest of the year & I'm gonna take this time to get the wheel fixed & rehabbed so I'm ready to roll for next season. Thanks to everyone for all the support over our 4 years.

Moskowy joined the revamped Team Carruthers in 2014 and captured two Manitoba championships, one Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling title and a Canada Cup during the quadrennial. The 27-year-old from Regina skipped Saskatchewan to the Canadian junior championship in 2011.

Team Carruthers also includes second Derek Samagalski and lead Colin Hodgson.

The news fell on the same day as fellow Winnipeg crew Team McEwen announced they were disbanding at the end of the season after 11 years together. Skip Mike McEwen, third B.J. Neufeld, second Matt Wozniak and lead Denni Neufeld have won six championships in the Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling.

Both teams will compete at the Princess Auto Elite 10 in their hometown starting Thursday at St. James Civic Centre.
