Defending champ Brad Gushue picked up where he left off at the Canadian men\u0027s curling championship with an opening victory Friday night.
Gushue has won the Tim Hortons Brier on four occasions over the last six years. His Brier victory last season in Lethbridge, Alta., was sandwiched by an Olympic bronze and world silver.He showed his form in the opening end with a freeze by the button that helped generate a single. Gauthier followed with a force but was wide with a tap attempt in the third that gave Gushue a steal of two.It was Gushue’s first competitive game in about seven weeks.
“It feels strangely weird wearing the black and red,” McEwen said. “It’s exciting to have the crowd get behind us. I think the more games we can win will encourage that.” “We’ve been looking forward to the Brier all year, especially the last couple weeks leading up here,” Bottcher said. “It’s nice to come out and get a win, but more importantly play well.”
