Red Deer’s Jocelyn Peterman and fiancé Brett Gallant represent Canada on world stage
Red Deer native Jocelyn Peterman is about to take the ice with curling and life partner Brett Gallant.
The two-time Canadian mixed doubles champions and world silver-medalist team of Peterman (Winnipeg) and Gallant (St. John’s, N.L.) will represent Canada at the 2022 World Mixed Doubles Championship.
“We’re excited to have this chance to represent Canada once again. As an athlete, you never know when you’ll get those opportunities and have to appreciate when they come around,” said Peterman. “Like everyone else, we wished we could have competed for this chance to represent Canada, and we won’t take this for granted. We want to make our country proud in Switzerland.”
The team will travel to the Curling Club Trois-Chêne in Geneva, Switzerland, from April 23-30, competing for the chance to claim Canada’s first world mixed doubles gold medal at the event. Canada’s senior men’s and women’s national teams, skipped by Alberta’s Wade White and Saskatchewan’s Sherry Anderson respectively, will also be vying at the World Senior Curling Championships, held concurrently.
