Welcome to the team Freeman twitter feed. We’ve assembled this cast of characters in hopes of securing a berth in our hometown Viterra men’s provincial in February. Thanks to @AndrewAgencies, @RFNOW_Inc & Renard’s Meat Services for your sponsorship of our squad. #teambarkman
Team Barkman sends a hearty congratulations to the kid and his team and coach Freebie on a fabulous week. 8-3 record, a bronze medal and knocking out the 2 time reigning provincial champion is a tidy bit of work at a national championship. Not taking Biff as 2nd coach though 🤔

Who else is excited for curling season?! 🥌
Today we're throwing it back to 2019 when we sponsored Team Freeman while they took home the win at the Westman Super League and got to go on to the 2019 Viterra Curling Championship!
We can't wait to get back onto the ice this year!
And now in his 51st year… happy belated birthday Biffer. Sorry the Team Barkman Twitter feed forgot about you… which is ironic because this feed likely doesn’t exist without you. Enjoy the Senior Circuit on the ice and in life big fella #Biff
Retro Advertising Signs! Prepping for some renos, we uncovered some history painted on the wall boards. Here's a few of our favourites, the rest can be seen on our Facebook page!
Nice to see the kid following CB’s career progression track winning the Virden Men’s Bonspiel at a young age and competing and currently undefeated at a national junior championship…. well…. I guess CB skipped the 2nd part…. Keep it going boys, we’ll hold the fort at home
4-0!!! With a win over Team Ontario 1 the boys stay undefeated at the Canadian Juniors and remain tied for first in our pool. We now play against our friends Team Manitoba 1 tomorrow at 6:00 pm CT.
Team Freeman U 18 have been having a great time at the Canada Winter Games! We have won our first 3 round robin games and sit tied for first in our pool at 3-0. We play our friends Team Nova Scotia in the final round robin game at 12:00 pm to try and earn a bye to the semi final!
As Team Barkman continues to live vicariously through the kid and his many triumphs this winter, we wish Team Manitoba good luck at the Canada Games in PEI starting tomorrow 🦬 🦬 have a great spiel fellas
Biff and Cletus back at it at the Maryfield open this weekend with Billy and the brothers team. The Barkley squad has dominated the event in recent years and look to continue with unique brand of teamwork this weekend #brothersdontshakehands
Haven’t seen this one shared on twitter yet but this shot by Cameron Bryce against Ross Whyte is absolutely insane. Super spin splitter for a deuce to tie the game in 10. The look on Robin Brydone’s face says it all
