Despite being hurt while participating in the event, Bahamas-born Collin Mitchell was the second on the Mike Harris rink (team) that captured the Canadian curling Olympic qualifying championship that allowed them to represent their country in the sport at the 1998 Winter Olympics. The team, which has been playing together since the early 1990s, brought home a silver medal from the tournament, losing only to Switzerland in the final match. After the Olympics, Mitchell eventually left the Harris rink in 2000 with teammate Richard Hart to join Team Glenn Howard, but returned in 2007 after taking a year-long break from the sport in 2006. By that time the team was being run by John Base and Mitchell left for good a year later. With the Howard rink, however, he won Canadian national championships in 2002 and 2004.
