Quebec remains lone undefeated team at mixed curling nationals

Nov 11, 2026 | 7:15 PM

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND — Quebec’s Félix Asselin remained the lone undefeated team at the Canadian mixed curling championship on Wednesday with a 7-3 win over Ontario’s Cory Heggestad.

Quebec (6-0) blew past Ontario (2-4) with a three-point fourth end to make it 4-1 before making it a 6-2 game with a two-point sixth end.

Quebec sits one game ahead of Northern Ontario’s Bryan Burgess (5-1), which beat Ontario 5-4 earlier in the day, with the rest of Pool A either at, or below, .500.

Meanwhile, Pool B remained close at the top with British Columbia (5-1) and Nova Scotia (5-1) both earning two wins on the day. New Brunswick (5-1) was off Wednesday.

Nova Scotia’s Brent MacDougall easily topped Yukon’s Scott Williamson (0-6) 8-2 in the morning draw and then defeated Prince Edward Island’s Adam Arsenault (2-4) 7-4 in the evening draw.
