Gareau has been training for three and a half years. Despite taking home a medal at five of the last six tournaments he has competed in, Gareau has never had just a one-on-one match. His match Friday night at the Nutana Curling Club will consist of one five-minute round, which can only be won by submission. At the end of the five minutes if there is no winner, the match will go to overtime.
