Bob Ursel

Bob Ursel

Bob "Bobby" Ursel (born February 12, 1965 in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is a Canadian curler who curls out of Kelowna, British Columbia.

In 1984, Ursel skipped his native Manitoba to a Canadian Junior Curling Championship. The following year, he skipped the Canadian Junior Team to a World Junior Curling Championship title.

It would be 15 years out of junior that Ursel would finally make it to the Brier. He played third for Bert Gretzinger's 1999 British Columbia team. They finished 5-6. In 2002 Ursel moved to play third for Pat Ryan where he made the 2003 Nokia Brier. At the 2003 Brier, the team lost in the semi-final to Nova Scotia (skipped by Mark Dacey).

After the 2003 Brier, Ursel left the Ryan team to form his own team. He played in his third Brier in 2008 where he lost in the 3-4 game to Ontario's Glenn Howard.

Ursel's father, Jim won the 1977 Brier, as skip of the Quebec team.
