About Brad Jacobs

Bradley Robert Jacobs is a Canadian curler from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. He currently skips his own team out of Calgary, Alberta.

He is a 12-time Northern Ontario provincial champion, and one-time provincial junior champion. At the Canadian Juniors, he led the team to an 8–4 record, good enough for fourth place, but out of the playoffs. Jacobs and his 2014 Olympic gold medallist team were well known for their physical fitness. Jacobs first started in his men's career playing for his uncle, Al Harnden, with Jacobs throwing last rocks on the team. They won the game 5-3. "Once we got the lead, they were kind of shocked," Flaxey told the Sault Star.
