Edin has won three titles on tour this season and captured a fourth consecutive European Championship to clinch a spot in the season-ending Humpty’s Champions Cup.

Edin is a three-time Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling champion and winner of the 2016-17 GSOC Bonus Cup. The team made history at the 2016 Masters in Okotoks, Alta., becoming the first non-Canadian men’s squad to capture a title in the series. It was also Wrana’s debut in the Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling. Their other title wins came at the 2016 Tour Challenge (just two weeks later) and the 2017 Players’ Championship.

They finished runner-up to Team Mike McEwen at the inaugural Elite 10 in Fort McMurray, Alta., in 2015.

The Princess Auto Elite 10 runs March 15-18 at Winnipeg’s St. James Civic Centre.
