2025 Brier Opening Day Preview

But Gushue’s rink is looking a little shaky right now. In October, he and longtime teammates Mark Nichols and Geoff Walker parted ways with second E.J. Harnden, who helped them to their last two national championships with his powerful sweeping. They replaced him with Brendan Bottcher, the only skip besides Gushue to win a Brier in the past five years. It seemed like a high-upside move, but since reaching the final of the Canadian Open in early November, the team is just 2-7 in the Grand Slams — including an 0-4 disaster in their most recent outing.

Gushue’s struggles have opened the door for Manitoba’s Matt Dunstone and Alberta’s Brad Jacobs, and maybe Northern Ontario’s John Epping and Saskatchewan’s Mike McEwen, to possibly unseat him as Canadian champ.
They’re all in the top nine of statistical guru Ken Pomeroy’s global power ratings, and Dunstone and Jacobs have even overtaken Gushue, who’s fallen to fifth place after finishing No. 1 last year. The Brier betting odds are more or less in line, with Jacobs and Dunstone (in that order) clearly favoured over Gushue, who’s a concerning 8-14 against top-10 opponents this season.
Jacobs is probably the most interesting challenger to Gushue’s throne. Now based in Calgary, he won the 2013 Brier for Northern Ontario and went on to capture Olympic gold the following year in Sochi. Jacobs, 39, is now the skip for Marc Kennedy, Brett Gallant and Ben Hebert after they ditched Bottcher in favour of him last April. The new foursome reached the final at each of the last two Grand Slams, though they lost them to Scottish skips Bruce Mouat and Ross Whyte, the top two in Pomeroy’s ratings.
