Vice-skip Darren Moulding has left the curling rink led by Brendan Bottcher.

Team Bottcher announced the lineup change on Friday night in a statement posted to Twitter.

The rink said that Moulding is taking time away from curling for personal reasons and that it would announce a new player at a later date.

Moulding disputed the statement in his own tweet saying “‘Personal Reasons’ lol… that’s a head scratcher…. Might have ask whose “personal reasons” those are.”

He added hashtags saying “Don’t believe it” and “lies” to the tweet.
