Brendan "B. J." Neufeld [1] (born February 28, 1986 in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is a Canadian curler from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Neufeld plays third for the McEwen team which curls out of the Fort Rouge Curling Club in Winnipeg. He started curling around the age of ten and, like older brother Denni Neufeld, cites the achievements of his father as leading his interest into the game of curling.[2] His father is Chris Neufeld who was a three-time Manitoba curling champion and one time Labatt Brier champion in 1992 as part of the Vic Peters team.[2]

As a junior curler, Neufeld was a three-time provincial junior champion of Manitoba in 2004, 2005, and 2007. He finished as a national junior semi-finalist at the 2004 Canadian Junior Curling Championships.[2]
