Brad Gushue wins second straight Canadian men’s curling championship
REGINA — It took Brad Gushue several years to win his first Canadian men’s curling championship. His second didn’t take nearly as long.
Gushue downed Alberta’s Brendan Bottcher 6-4 in Sunday’s final for a second straight Canadian title.
Gushue, third Mark Nichols, second Brett Gallant and lead Geoff Walker will wear the Maple Leaf at the men’s world championship in Las Vegas from March 31 to April 8.
Up 5-4 coming home with the hammer and an Alberta stone on the four-foot rings, Gushue had thrown just one draw in the game but coolly drew the button to win the Tim Hortons Brier.
