Chris Schille (born February 19, 1983 in Barrhead, Alberta) is a Canadian curler from Red Deer, Alberta.
He played second for 2006 Olympic champion Brad Gushue from 2006–08, but was replaced by Ryan Fry in 2008. Schille returned to Alberta to form his own team.[1]
Schille grew up in Alberta, where he had a successful junior career, skipping the Alberta team at the 2004 Canadian Junior Curling Championships.
In 2006, Schille moved to Newfoundland to play for the Gushue rink after the departure of Russ Howard. The team made it to the 2007 Tim Hortons Brier where they lost to Ontario (skipped by Russ' brother, Glenn) in the final. The team qualified for the 2008 Tim Hortons Brier as well, but has less success, losing in the tie-breaker game to British Columbia (Bob Ursel).
In 2008, Schille teamed up with 2-time Canadian Junior Champion Charley Thomas, who would throw last rocks for the team, while Schille skipped. The new team had some limited success on the World Curling Tour.
