Randy Bryden (born January 20, 1970)[1] is a Canadian curler from Regina, Saskatchewan. He is a former Canadian Mixed champion, and is the current Canadian Senior men's champion skip.
As a junior curler, Bryden skipped teams to three-straight provincial championships. At the 1987 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, he led a team of Dean Klippenstine, Craig Fiske and Jamie Mathieson to a 6–5 record. At the 1988 Canadian Juniors, he led Klippenstine, Fiske and Rick Stack to an 8–3 round robin record, and lost to British Columbia's Mike Wood rink in the semifinal. At the 1989 Juniors, he led a new team of Troy Robinson, Troy Riche and Mark Zacharias to a 7–4 record, losing to Ontario's David Allan in a tiebreaker.[2]
Bryden is notable for winning the 1996 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship for Saskatchewan with teammates Cathy Trowell, brother Russ and Karen Inglis (Trowell's sister).
Bryden has yet to represent his province at the Brier. He has won two career World Curling Tour events, winning the Horizon Laser Vision Center Classic in 2010 and the Dauphin Clinic Pharmacy Classic in 2012.
Bryden represented Saskatchewan at the 2022,[3] and 2024 Canadian Senior Curling Championships, winning the latter.
