PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — Quebec captured its third straight Canadian mixed curling championship with a convincing 10-3 win over Northern Ontario on Saturday.

The team of skip Felix Asselin, lead Emily Riley, second Emile Asselin and third Laurie St-Georges had the final all but wrapped up after a four-point steal in the third end put Quebec up 9-0.

Asselin’s foursome entered Saturday’s playoffs with the best record out of the championship pool and put Quebec in contention for a third straight title with a 5-3 win over British Columbia’s Miles Craig in the semifinals earlier Saturday.

Northern Ontario, skipped by Trevor Bonot, advanced to the final with a 6-5 win over Jamie Koe’s Northwest Territories rink. Koe’s team had the second-best record heading into Saturday’s playoffs but fell short of a spot in the final.

In the final, Quebec started with the hammer and put up three points, then followed with steals of two and four.
