Former Red Deerian Jocelyn Peterman and her husband Brett Gallant will represent Canada at the 2025 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.

The pair, who now call Chestermere, Alta. home, will compete against the world’s best at Willie O’Ree Place in Fredericton, N.B. beginning on Saturday.

Their first matchup will be against Germany’s Pia-Lisa Schoell and Joshua Sutor at 6 a.m. MST, which kicks off the week-long tournament.

Peterman and Gallant are competing to ensure Canada earns a spot in the 2026 Winter Olympics mixed doubles competition.

Which countries make it is determined by combined results from the 2024 and 2025 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championships. A total of seven countries will join host Italy with two more teams coming from the Olympic qualifying event in December.

The duo earned the right to compete at worlds after wining the 2025 Canada Mixed Doubles Curling Trials in January.

This will be the third time they’ve competed at worlds. They won the silver medal in 2019 in Norway and placed fifth in 2022 in Switzerland.

They split the teams into two 10-team pools, with Canada grouped together with China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, South Korea and Sweden.

According to Curling Canada, each group will play a nine-game round robin, and the top three teams from each group will advance to the playoffs.

The first-place teams in each group receive a bye to the semifinals. The second and third place teams cross over for qualification games from which the winners advance to the semifinals. The winners of those games go to the gold-medal game, and the losing teams compete in the bronze-medal game.

Here’s is Canada’s complete schedule in Mountain time:

• Saturday, 6 a.m. — Canada vs. Germany (Pia-Lisa Schoell/Joshua Sutor)
