The memories of a decade of Pinty's Grand Slam of Curling have been plentiful, but JonathanBrazeau narrowed them down to the best of the best as we say later days to the 2010s and usher in the roaring 20s.
We’ve come a long, long way together. The Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling started the 2010s as a four-event series with only one of them featuring both men’s and women’s divisions. Now it’s a six-event series with men’s and women’s divisions at all of them plus equal prize purses.
Right from that first season of the decade, Mike McEwen capture his first couple titles with his second at the 2011 Canadian Open in Oshawa, Ont., earning its place here. Both McEwen and Glenn Howard entered the final undefeated and no surprise an extra end was required to solve this contest. McEwen needed sweepers Matt Wozniak and Denni Neufeld to hold the line, avoiding their own guard plus another Howard stone, to hit on the nose and stick for the winning point.
Gushue had finished runner-up in two GSOC events during the previous season but something was missing to get to the goal. Enter, or re-enter, third Mark Nichols, who came back to the squad after a couple of seasons with Team Stoughton. That switch also led to Brett Gallant sliding over to second where he’s become a formidable front-end pairing with lead Geoff Walker.
