Perspective
Juniors
As a bantam-aged curler, Horgan won three Northern Ontario titles (2010, 2013, and 2015). In 2012, he won the Ontario provincial elementary school championship, representing MacLeod Public School.[3] Playing for his brother Tanner, Horgan won six straight Northern Ontario Junior Men's Championships from 2014 to 2019. They proved to be a strong team on the national stage as they won silver medals in 2016 and 2018 and a bronze medal in 2017. Jacob won his first junior provincial title as a skip in 2020 and skipped his team to a 3–6 record at the 2020 Canadian Junior Curling Championships.
Men's
In 2016, Team Horgan competed in their first Grand Slam of Curling event at the 2016 Boost National as the sponsor's exemption.[4] They finished with a 1–3 record, defeating Steve Laycock in their final round robin match.[5] They qualified for their first Brier in 2023, finishing tied for 5th place with a 6–2 record, losing to Brendan Bottcher in a qualifying game for the playoffs.
At the beginning of the 2024-25 curling season, Jacob and brother Tanner would announce that they would be joining the John Epping rink alongside Ian McMillan and curl out of Sudbury in Northern Ontario. In their first year together, the Epping rink would have a strong season, playing in the 2025 Masters grand slam event where they would go 2-2 in the round robin and lose to Korey Dropkin in a tiebreaker. Epping would also go undefeated at the 2025 Northern Ontario Men's Provincial Curling Championship to represent Northern Ontario to the 2025 Montana's Brier. At the Brier, the team would go 6-2 in the round robin, however fail to qualify for the playoffs due to their head-to-head loss to Reid Carruthers to finish 4th in their group.
Mixed doubles
Horgan joined forces with Kira Brunton to compete in mixed doubles in the 2024–25 season, competing in the 2025 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship. In their first national championship together, the duo had success, finishing round robin play with an undefeated 7–0 record, and losing to eventual champions Kadriana Lott and Colton Lott 6–5 in the semifinals.
Personal life
Horgan attended Laurentian University for business administration,[6] and currently attends Humber College, living in Mississauga.[7] His siblings Tracy Fleury, Jennifer Wylie and Tanner Horgan are also accomplished curlers.
