Junior career

After having curled with the Mike Armstrong junior rink, Muyres joined the Braeden Moskowy rink at second position in 2010. The team won the Saskatchewan Junior championships that year, earning the rink the right to represent Saskatchewan at the 2011 Canadian Junior Curling Championships. At the Canadian Juniors, the team- which also included Kirk Muyres and Matt Lang- went undefeated (12-0) through the round robin, and proceeded to win the event by defeating Ontario's Mathew Camm in the final. The team would go on to represent Canada at the 2011 World Junior Curling Championships where they would find less success. The team found themselves in 4th place after the round robin with a 6-3 record. The team beat Norway (Steffen Mellemseter) in their first playoff match, but in the semi-final they lost to Switzerland (Peter de Cruz), and then lost to Norway again in the bronze medal game. After the World Juniors, the team played in their first Grand Slam event, the 2011 Players' Championship where they surprised many by making into the quarterfinals. After the season, Moskowy and Muyres graduated from the junior level. Lang and Flasch remained together, with Lang at skip and Flasch at second. They added Tyler Hartung and Jayden Shwaga.

Men's career

Following juniors, Flash joined the Steve Laycock rink at second, rejoining his former junior teammate, Kirk Muyres who is third on the team. Kirk's brother Dallan would play lead. In Flasch's first season with the Laycock rink, the team would play in all four Grand Slam events, making it to the semi-finals of the 2012 Masters of Curling. At the 2013 provincial men's championship, the team finished 4th. Following the season, the team had accumulated enough CTRS points to qualify for the "Road to the Road" 2013 Canadian Olympic pre-qualifying event. At "the Roar" the following season, the team placed fourth, which was not good enough to qualify for the 2013 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials.

The Laycock rink would win the 2014 SaskTel Tankard men's provincial championship, sending the team to the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier, Flasch's first. At the Brier, the team narrowly missed the playoffs, after finishing the round robin with a 6-5 record.

In the 2014-15 curling season, the team had their best year yet finishing the season 4th on the World Curling Tour's money list. The team qualified in the first three Grand Slams with a runner up finish to Team Gushue at the 2014 Canadian Open of Curling. The Laycock team repeated repeated as Saskatchewan champions, and would represent Saskatchewan at the 2015 Tim Hortons Brier. There, they finished the round robin with a 8-4 record finishing 3rd in the round robin. They would lose the 3 vs. 4 game to Team Canada, but would go on to win the bronze medal.

They Laycock rink won the 2016 SaskTel Tankard and represented Saskatchewan at the 2016 Tim Hortons Brier. There, they finished out of the playoffs with a 5-6 record.

After the team lost in the final of the 2017 SaskTel Tankard, Flasch announced he was leaving the Laycock rink.
