Canadian Mixed Curling Championships
The Canadian Mixed Curling Championship is the national curling championship for mixed curling in Canada. The winners of the tournament will represent Canada at the World Mixed Curling Championship. In mixed curling, the positions on a team must alternate between men and women. If a man throws last rocks, which is usually the case, the women must throw lead rocks and third rocks, while the other male member of the team throws second rocks.

For the first two years it was held at the Royal Canadian Curling Club in Toronto. The first championship was won by Ernie Boushy of Winnipeg with a record of 9-1. In 1973, Seagram Distillers became the new official sponsor, until 1983. Up until 1995, the event was typically held ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
