Women’s Sweep 16 Preview: Team Rachel Homan vs. Team Gabby Wood
One of the most anticipated matchups of the women’s Sweep 16 will be Team Rachel Homan taking on Team Gabby Wood. Team Homan, the reigning champions of the PointsBet Invitational, Scotties Tournament of Hearts, and World Women’s Curling Championship, returns to familiar ice, having claimed the 2024 Scotties Tournament title in February. As the top-seeded team in the women’s bracket, Homan’s squad is set to face No. 16-seeded Team Gabby Wood from Edmonton, the reigning champions of the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA).
Homan’s team is no stranger to the pressures of high-level competition and enters this matchup as strong favorites. However, Team Gabby Wood will be eager to challenge the defending champions, having earned their spot by triumphing at the CCAA Championship.
Men’s Sweep 16 Preview: Team Reid Carruthers and Team Brad Gushue Set to Battle for Glory
On the men’s side, all eyes will be on Team Reid Carruthers of Winnipeg, the two-time defending PointsBet Invitational champions. Carruthers, seeded sixth, begins his journey to a potential three-peat on Thursday night, squaring off against No. 11-seeded Team Félix Asselin from Montreal. With a proven track record of success at this event, Carruthers’ team will be a force to reckon with.
Meanwhile, top-seeded Team Brad Gushue from St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, will take to the ice on Wednesday night against No. 16-seeded Team Dan Sherrard, the reigning champions of the Everest Canadian Club Championships. Gushue’s team has consistently performed at the highest levels of curling and will look to demonstrate their dominance once again in this tournament.
