HL: Two Manitoba duos competing at Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship

Two teams from Manitoba are vying for a national curling title in Prince Edward Island starting Sunday.

Kadriana and Colton Lott, who curl out of Gimli, are looking for their second straight Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship and another shot at a world title next year.

They will be joined by Team Manitoba’s Robyn Henry and Rob Gordon. The duo from Winnipeg’s Deer Lodge Curling Club qualified by winning the provincial championship back in February.

While those teams are the only ones representing Manitoba, there are some other familiar faces competing at the tournament including Winnipeg’s own Jennifer Jones and long-time Team Lawes second Jocelyn Peterman.

In total, 32 teams are battling for the championship in Summerside, P.E.I. The winning duo will represent Canada at the 2026 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.

Round-robin play starts Sunday evening with the gold-medal game slated for Friday afternoon.
