Edmonton, AB (March 11, 2022)

Coach of The Year:

The Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) is proud to announce Brad Hamilton of Red Deer Polytechnic Curling has been named the ACAC Curling Coach of the Year.

Hamilton has been the Red Deer Polytechnic Curling Head Coach since 2010. With his leadership, the RDP Kings have won ACAC gold three times. The Queens have earned one conference title and two Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) national gold medals. Both teams have also picked up a host of silver and bronze medals at both the ACAC and CCAA levels.

“Brad is well deserving of this award. His ability to teach and lead the student-athletes on and off the ice is exceptional, as demonstrated by the gold and silver medals at this year’s championships,” said Randy Stewart, Manager, Athletics and Student Life. “In conjunction with Queens Coach Eldon Raab and assistant Andrew Jones, Brad does a marvelous job of recruiting and bringing out the best in each student-athlete.”

Hamilton has now been recognized as the ACAC Curling Coach of the Year for the third time. He previously earned the award in the 2015/2016 and 2018/2019 seasons. He was also named the 2016/2017 CCAA Women’s Curling Coach of the Year.

This prestigious award was recognized at the 2022 ACAC Curling Championship hosted by U of A Augustana in Camrose, Alberta.
