This past weekend, 20 mixed doubles teams competed in 4 pools of 5 teams in a round robin format at Town of Mount Royal Curling Club. This new format for the 2023-2024 season saw the first place team in each pool qualified directly into the quarter-finals, and the next best 8 teams qualified for the eighth-finals. While Teams Cottenoir/Martel, Tremblay/Lanoue, Gionest/Desjardins and Gagné/Morissette qualified as the first place team in their pool, only the first three mentioned teams qualified for the semifinals, because Team Maheux/Maheux defeated Gagné/Morissette in the quarter final. In the semifinals, Tremblay/Lanoue defeated Gionest/Desjardins 7-2 and Maheux/Maheux defeated Cottenoir/Martel with the same score. The final between Maheux/Maheux and Tremblay/Lanoue was extremely close, but the Tremblay/Lanoue team won 8-7. As for the bronze medal game, unfortunately, a member of the Cottenoir/Martel team suffered from an injury during their semifinal game. As a result, they had to forfeit the game. Therefore, Team Gionest/Desjardins was declared the bronze medalist.
A big thank you to the host club for the wonderful event. It’s always a pleasure to meet all the volunteers who are working hard at the Town of Mount Royal club!
