PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND – Nova Scotia’s Brent MacDougall is the Canadian mixed curling champion.
The Nova Scotia rink, down 5-4 entering the eighth and final end, scored five to defeat New Brunswick’s Sylvie Quillian 9-5 in Saturday’s gold-medal final.
Nova Scotia took a 4-3 lead with a single in the sixth end before New Brunswick came back with two in the seventh end.
MacDougall gave credit to his team of vice-skip Erin Carmody, second Scott Weagle, lead Marie Christianson, and coach Danny Christianson following the win.
“This feels amazing because it’s very rare you get here at all,” said MacDougall. “Marie came here with a nine-week-old and Scott stuck with it the whole game. He just kept sweeping us out and stuck with us. Erin, of course, does what Erin does. She’s a great player. It feels exhilarating, for sure.
“Danny, our coach, has lost four (national) finals as a coach. This is his first final won. We would not have won it without him. Danny helped get us to that next level, and that’s why we won.”
In the bronze-medal game, Northern Ontario’s Bryan Burgess beat Quebec’s Félix Asselin 4-3. Northern Ontario was ahead 4-2 with a single in the sixth, with Quebec scoring once in the eighth after a scoreless seventh end.
The Quebec rink, which went 10-0 leading into the semifinals, lost twice on Saturday. Quebec fell 5-3 to Nova Scotia in the semifinals.
New Brunswick handed Northern Ontario a 7-4 defeat in the other semifinal.
