The Pinty’s Hearing Life Curling Tour is wrapping up, and they had the Tier 1 and Tier 2 men’s championship matches earlier today. (Sunday, October 23)

In Tier 1, spectators saw the ‘skip-less’ Team Edin beat Team Dunstone 7-3, as Oskar Erikson rose to the occasion and filled in the void of their skipper, Niklas Edin who re-aggravated a knee injury before their Saturday, October 22 semi-final match.

In Tier 2, Korey Dropkin and his American team took out the Calgary-based, Aaron Sluchinski club, 6-3.
