LIVERPOOL, N.S. -- New Brunswick's Rene Comeau advanced to the men's final Sunday at the Canadian junior curling championships.

Comeau moved on after defeating Alberta's Carter Lautner 9-4 in the semifinal.

"It feels really good. We took control early and just really had to stay focused, make all our peels, make all our hits," said Comeau. "And now we're just really happy that we're through to the final."

He'll next play Manitoba's Braden Calvert in the final later Sunday. The winner represents Canada at the world junior championships next month in Flims, Switzerland.
