Jason Gunnlaugson’s Winnipeg team registered a 6-5 extra-end victory over Mark Bice of Sarnia, Ont., Wednesday night, and is right in the thick of things at the 2017 Canadian Olympic curling pre-trials in Summerside, P.E.I.
Gunnlaugson’s crew from the Granite Club, with third Alex Forrest, second Ian McMilland and lead Connor Njegovan, now have a 2-1 record in Pool A of the 14-team men’s draw, and are in second spot behind Glenn Howard of Etobicoke, Ont. (3-0). John Morris of Vernon, B.C., is also 2-1.
In Pool B, Pat Simmons of the Granite (1-1) stole a point in an extra end to defeat Jean-Michel Menard of Quebec 7-6, while clubmate William Lyburn (1-2) fell 6-5 to Greg Balsdon of Kingston, Ont.
Meanwhile, Kerri Einarson’s East St. Paul foursome (2-1) lost its first game of the event, falling 8-3 to Briane Meilleur of Fort Rouge (2-2). Both teams are in Pool B. Darcy Robertson of Assiniboine Memorial (1-3) lost 8-7 to Jacqueline Harrison of Mississauga, Ont.
In Pool A, Shannon Birchard of St. Vital (2-2) earned a 7-5 victory over Kelsey Rocque of Edmonton.
The round-robin portion of the pre-trials wraps up Friday night, followed by the weekend playoffs.
The pre-trials is the final qualifying event for teams (two men’s, two women’s) to reach the Roar of the Rings Olympic trials, Dec. 2-10 in Ottawa, where Canada’s representatives for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, will be decided.
