Longtime skip Brendan Bottcher will be wearing Canada colours when he makes his return to the four-player game with Team Gushue at the upcoming Pan Continental curling championship.
The weeklong competition begins Sunday in Lacombe, Alta. The event serves as the Americas and Pacific-Asia zone qualifier for the world championships. It's a roll of the dice that Gushue's side was comfortable with as the third-ranked team looks to build toward the Canadian Curling Trials in just over a year.
It's an ideal event for Bottcher to make his Team Gushue debut as there will be little pressure. Canada has already secured a berth in the world championship as host of the March 29-April 6 playdowns in Moose Jaw, Sask. The top four teams in each draw will qualify their respective member association for the worlds. If a host team finishes in the top four, the fifth-place team will secure the qualification spot.
Gushue went on to take silver at the world championship. Homan won the national title last season and also took the world crown.
