Jim Cotter and his daughter Jaelyn will be part of the field of 16 at Canadian Mixed Doubles trials in Liverpool (not THAT one), NS
The long road to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy begins in the Maritimes for Jim and Jaelyn Cotter.
The winning team in Liverpool will earn the right to represent Canada at the 2025 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in Fredericton, N.B., from April 26 to May 3. Performance at that event and results from the 2024 World Mixed Doubles Championship will determine whether Canada secures one of the eight spots available for the mixed doubles competition at the Olympics.
They join eight teams who previously secured berths through the 2024 Canadian Mixed Doubles Championship, the 2023-24 CMDR standings, or at one of three direct-entry qualifying events held recently. That includes Jim's former third, Steven Laycock of Saskatoon, who will be in the field with Nancy Martin of Wakaw, Sask., having qualified through the 2023-24 CMDR table.The 16 teams will be divided into two pools of eight for a round robin from Dec. 30 - Jan. 2.
