OLDS, Alta. — Brad Gushue capped a memorable season in style Sunday by beating Kevin Koe 8-5 to win the Champions Cup at the Olds Sportsplex.

It was the final competition for Gushue’s team with second Brett Gallant in the lineup. He will join Brendan Bottcher’s team next season. 

Gushue, third Mark Nichols, Gallant and lead Geoff Walker won Canada’s Olympic trials last November, took bronze at the Beijing Games in February, won the Tim Hortons Brier in March and took silver at the world championship last month.

On Sunday, the St. John’s-based team took control against Koe with a steal of three in the fourth end. Koe, from Calgary, conceded in the seventh end.

The women’s final between Kerri Einarson of Gimli, Man., and South Korea’s Eun-Ji Gim was scheduled for later in the day.
