Red Deer’s Jocelyn Peterman makes it to gold-medal game at Canadian Mixed Doubles
With a combined 12 Canadian curling championships, seven world titles and an Olympic gold medal between them, it’s hard to believe that something was missing from the trophy cabinet at the household of Jennifer Jones and Brent Laing.
But on Sunday, before a thoroughly packed house at the Gerry McCrory Countryside Sports Complex in Sudbury, Ontario, Jones and Laing added yet another national gold medal, and their first as teammates, at the 2023 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.
The Horseshoe Valley, Ont., tandem defeated two-time national mixed doubles champs Jocelyn Peterman, of Red Deer, and husband Brett Gallant, now both living in Chestermere, Alta., in the gold-medal game to represent Canada at the 2023 World Mixed Doubles Championship next month in Gangneung, South Korea.
“It’s pretty cool,” said Laing, who adds the Canadian mixed doubles crown to his three Brier victories, three world men’s titles, two Canadian junior wins and two world junior titles. “It hasn’t really sunk in quite yet. We had a great attitude this week of just play our best, take every end one end at a time and see where we end up. And we ended up winning, so that’s pretty cool. I think it will really sink in when we get home with the kids; they’ll be excited. It’s pretty awesome.”
