Rachel Homan and Brendan Bottcher Advance to Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Trials Final

Rachel Homan and Brendan Bottcher secured their spot in the final of the Canadian mixed doubles curling trials in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. The duo from Alberta emerged victorious in the semifinal match against Lisa Weagle and John Epping, with a final score of 8-6.

The talented pair will now prepare to face off against Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant from Chestermere, Alberta in the final showdown. The stakes are high as the trials winner will have the opportunity to represent Canada in the 2026 Olympic Games, provided they also achieve a strong finish at the 2025 world championship to secure their country’s qualification for the event in Italy.

With the Olympic field set to include the top eight ranked countries in the world, or the top seven plus host Italy if they are not in the top eight, Canada currently holds the fifth position in the rankings. This places Homan and Bottcher in a promising position as they aim to clinch victory in the final and pave their way to potential Olympic glory.

As the excitement builds and the competition heats up, all eyes will be on the final match as these talented curlers showcase their skills and determination in pursuit of their Olympic dreams.
