Overview

Gold at the Women’s U18 World Championships!

FAA defeats Korda in the final and is the ATP 250 Adelaide International champion

If that's what she needs, more power to her. Judging from the limited amount of quotes I've seen from her since before the Olympics, she seemed stressed/burnt out.

Anders Johnson with the third best time of the year (world) in the 500m, meanwhile Connor Howe with the second best in the 1000 and third in the 1500 at the event in Calgary last week (admittedly its altitude)

Fortunately they did in the 3rd. 6-2 final, even got the Slovak's goalie pulled.

Reminded that the mixed doubles world will be in my old hometown of Fredericton :D

Is there a way to watch the game on replay or was it only live ?

After a Men’s World Juniors campaign that was so disastrous that I didn’t even want to talk about it at all… (Easton McCowan I hope you never put a Team Canada jersey on ever again, and management that’s what you get for leaving so many big players off the roster) there’s more Hockey Canada embarrassment at the Women’s U18 Worlds We’re tied with Slovakia, YES Slovakia… 2-2 after 2 periods. 45-5 in shots, but the team isn’t looking dangerous at all… Not gonna rag on them because they’re only kids but these girls need to wake up.

Yup! Other than the teams, who realistically had no shot, they were my favorites. And I think Curling Canada will be pretty happy with this result as well.

Yep, women’s trials will (hopefully too, because of how dominant they are) be boring in terms of the winner, but you never know what’ll happen. Men’s trials has Gushue, Jacobs, McEwen, and Dunstone all in contention.

Realistically, I think there’s about a 5% chance they don’t by World Championships, and about a 0.01% chance at all, because well it’s Peterman/Gallant… but yeah you’re right. I know you must be super happy with the result, I believe you were rooting for them from the beginning? (I was too)

Great fun watching this the last few days. Let's see if this strategy for early selection works for Milan 2026. Homan is very likely going to be there for the women anyway, but we'll see.

I mean, they do still need to grab the quota for Canada :P They were the best team all week, especially impressive that they beat Homan and Botcher convincingly twice (the score of the final is a bit deceptive). They are going to be a big contender in Cortina.

And it’s all over! Peterman/Gallant cap off their unbeaten week with a win in the final and are going to the Olympics!!

Peterman and Gallant versus Homan and Botcher for the ticket to Italy . Two great teams !

Peterman and Gallant qualify for the final. Weagle and Epping will face Homan and Botcher in the semifinals.

Tran/Kleiter and Homan/Bottcher defeat Jones/Laing and Cotter/Cotter to advance to the 3v4 playoff game. Winner to the semifinals (against the 1v2 playoff game loser, either Weagle/Epping or Psterman/Gallant), and the loser is eliminated.

It does look extremely likely to be one of those three teams. Peterman / Gallant do seem to be the team in form so far this week, at this point I think it would be a mild upset if they don’t win.

Peterman / Gallant and Weagle / Epping both qualify for the 1-2 game. The other four teams will play-off for a spot in the 3-4 game.

Lott/Lott and Walker/Muyers both out Well… I hope the final will be Peterman/Gallant v. Homan/Bottcher. Them or one of them with Weagle/Epping, I don’t trust any of the other pairings.

The six teams that made the playoff: First seeds: Brittany Tran / Rylan Kleiter, Jocelyn Peterman / Brett Gallant Second seeds: Lisa Weagle / John Epping and Rachel Homan / Brendan Bottcher Third seeds: Jennifer Jones / Brent Laind and Jaelyn Cotter: Jim Cotter The first and second seeds play for a spot in the 1-2 Page playoff, the losers will play the third seeds for a spot in the 3-4 Page playoff. One of the playoff is Peterman and Gallant vs Homan and Bottcher, which might very well be a preview of the grand final.
