Brad Gushue’s team will have to make residency or personnel changes prior to next year’s Brier, unless they return as defending champs again
Brad Gushue’s team is back at the Tim Hortons Brier as defending champions. They’ll have to change their residency situation or roster makeup next season if they need to qualify to return via provincial playdowns.
Under current rules, only one import player is allowed a team. The others must be bona fide residents of the same province or territory or have birthright status.Gushue and vice Mark Nichols live in St. John’s, but newcomer E.J. Harnden lives in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and lead Geoff Walker is an Edmonton resident.
If the Canada entry has three of four players returning from the team that earned the berth, it will be eligible to play “regardless of residency,” Thiessen told The Canadian Press. “Residency is always a hot-button topic,” Thiessen said. “We have the push and pull of we have to have our best teams at the national championships for our funding partners, for our ability to make sure that are best teams go off to world championships as well and can earn us medals because those matter.
