They would win the provincial championship in back to back years in 1999 and 2000.[4] At the [1999 Labatt Brier](/source/1999_Labatt_Brier) in [Edmonton](/source/Edmonton), they qualified for the playoffs with an 7–4 record before losing to [Saskatchewan](/source/Saskatchewan)'s [Gerald Shymko](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gerald_Shymko&action=edit&redlink=1) in the 3 vs 4 game.
