[1] Frans is most notable for being a two-time provincial champion and for being suspended from competitive curling for cocaine usage.

In 1994, Frans would win a second straight provincial championship, this time with Bradford, Ontario.

At the 1994 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, he skipped the Ontario team to a 4th place finish (7-4 record), just out of the playoffs.

Frans later joined up with another provincial junior champion, John Morris, playing as his vice.

Morris left Ontario following that season, and Frans joined up with Wayne Middaugh, playing as his second.
