Providence University College Athletics is excited to announce the hiring of Jordan Peters as the inaugural head coach of the Providence Pilots Men's and Women's Curling programs. Peters will lead the development of both teams from the ground up as Providence prepares for varsity competition beginning in Fall 2026.
"This is a very exciting hire for Providence Athletics. We couldn't be more proud to hire such a standup person and exceptional curler to build our program. Jordan has a proven track record as a curler and experience in youth coaching. He demonstrates a passion for the sport and is thrilled to bring his passion to Providence." Joel Coursey, Director of Athletics Jordan will begin immediately in recruitment and planning. Self recruitment forms can be found here.
Providence will compete in the Manitoba Colleges Athletic Conference (MCAC) as a tournament sport, developing through local league play and bonspiels before competing in an MCAC championship with a pathway toward the CCAA/Curling Canada College Curling Championships.
Peters returns to Providence as both a leader and alumnus. A local curling standout, he attended Providence from 2016–2021 while studying Business Administration, and during that time helped lead Canada to gold at the 2020 World Juniors in Russia.
"I am very honoured to be named the coach for the inaugural year of curling at Providence," said Jordan Peters. "My goal is to build a program that pursues excellence not only in on-ice performance, but in the character of our athletes. At Providence, this means competing at a high level while staying rooted in faith, teamwork, and integrity—representing the university well in everything we do.
"Curling is a sport that develops far more than technical skill. It teaches accountability, communication, and humility—values that extend well beyond the ice and align closely with what Providence stands for."
With leadership now in place, Providence will continue building toward the program's Fall 2026 launch through recruitment, community partnerships, and competitive preparation—aiming to pursue MCAC and CCAA championships in the years ahead.
