Until he's dethroned, Newfoundland's Brad Gushue will be the favourite every time he slides out of the hack at the Canadian men's curling championship. Gushue has a record six Canadian titles in his distinguished career, and he's going for No. 7 this week in Kelowna at the Montana's Brier. A victory would give him and his rink of third Mark Nichols, second Brendan Bottcher and lead Geoff Walker an unprecedented four consecutive championships.
Since winning his first Brier in front of home fans in St. John's in 2017, Gushue has guided his rink to Brier titles in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
