‘Hurry hard’: Top Curling teams in P.A. for National Mixed Championships

Nov 7, 2022 | 6:00 PM

The 2022 Canadian Mixed Curling Championships are well underway at Prince Albert’s Golf and Curling Centre.

About 14 teams from across Canada started play in the tournament Sunday, with the event wrapping up with the championship rounds and gold medal game on Saturday.

At the conclusion of the round-robin, the top four teams in each pool advance to the Championship Pool, when the teams play the teams from the opposite pool, carrying forward their full win-loss records. Meanwhile, the bottom three teams in each pool will go to the Seeding Pool, where they will compete against the three teams from the opposite pool to determine the final standings and set up the seedings for the 2023 Canadian Mixed Championship in Swift Current.

There are numerous past national champions in the field, headed by 1994 champ Grant Odishaw, who’s skipping Team New Brunswick from Moncton, and the two-time defending champions from Quebec led by skip Félix Asselin.
