Despite losing days of competition at the Canadian U18 Curling Championships due to a snowstorm and canceled flights, Nova Scotia curlers earned the title of national champion.
WATCH: Arriving late mid-week to Canadian U18 Curling Championships due to snowstorms on the east coast, Nova Scotia celebrated two gold medal performances at Saskatoon's Nutana Curling Club .
On the U18 boys side, the Atherton rink ran the table to complete a perfect 8-0 rink to claim the Canadian U18 championship 7-1 in six ends over the Tyler MacTavish rink from Ontario. Fast forward just half an hour later, a Nova Scotia earned a clean sweep as the Cassidy Blades rink defeated the Abby Desormeau rink out of Alberta 8-7 in the female final; they completed the week undefeated.
“I’ve been going to nationals for a long time and he’s been sitting there watching me,” said Stephanie. “It’s amazing to finally do something like this, on this scale with him.”Separated by just one year, the pair have grown up curling together and, according to the Team Atherton skip, Saturday’s result had always been in the back of Zachary’s mind.
