North Battleford’s Dean Grindheim, Sherry Just, Cole Tenetuik, and Alison Ingram will represent Saskatchewan at the 2021 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship in Canmore, Nov. 7-15.

The Grindheim rink defeated Regina’s Ben Gamble in the finals 6-3 at the Mont St. Joseph Foundation CurlSask 2021 Provincial Mixed Championships at the Prince Albert Golf and Curling Centre on Sunday.

Grindheim stole one in the second end to get an early advantage. After Gamble registered with a two-spot in the fourth end, Grindheim responded with a deuce of his own in the fifth. After Gamble was forced to one in the sixth, Grindheim regained the lead in the seventh by scoring two and stole another in the eighth round to seal the game and the tournament.
