Aaron Sluchinski's team announced Wednesday on social media that Kyle Doering has joined the club for next season.
Sluchinski was searching for a new player after second Kerr Drummond stepped back from competitive curling. The Airdrie, Alta., team also includes third Jeremy Harty and lead Dylan Webster.
Sluchinski had a breakout season, winning the Boston Pizza Cup to represent Alberta at the Montana's Brier for the first time and also competed in three Grand Slam of Curling events. The team finished 16th in the world rankings and seventh among Canadian clubs.
Doering has spent the past two years playing with Edmonton's Karsten Sturmay and was also on the lookout for a new squad after his skip announced his departure from competitive curling.
Winnipegger Doering earned a silver medal at the world men's curling championship earlier this month as the alternate on Team Canada, skipped by Brad Gushue.
Doering captured the Canadian junior title and a world junior bronze medal in 2016 playing with skip Matt Dunstone.
The Canadian men's curling landscape has seen several shifts in recent days. Brendan Bottcher's teammates announced Tuesday they were looking for a new skip and Reid Carruthers' team revealed Wednesday it has parted ways with skip Brad Jacobs. Skip Glenn Howard also announced his retirement Tuesday.
Meanwhile, skip John Epping unveiled his new team last week, featuring third Tanner Horgan, second Jacob Horgan and lead Ian McMillan.
