Freeze would win the provincial championship again in 2015 this time with a new set of players Andrew Burgess, Alex MacNeil and Comeau still skipping. The team had an identical start as Comeau and Freeze did in 2014, going 5–1 in the round robin but improving in the championship pool, finishing 8–2. The team would unfortunately not reach the final this year, losing to Saskatchewan 8–6 in the semifinal. The following season, Team Comeau played in the 2015 GSOC Tour Challenge Tier 2 event, where they finished 1–3.{{Cite web|url=https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?view=Team&eventid=3827&teamid=88402&profileid=|title=2015 GSOC Tour Challenge Tier 2|website=CurlingZone|access-date=July 31, 2020}}
