Gauthier rink plays N.L. on Friday in London, Ont.
The B.C.-champion Victoria Curling Club rink, skipped by Jacques Gauthier, says the best way to handle the pressure and publicity that envelopes the Tim Hortons Brier national men’s curling championship is by embracing it.“It’s not just another tournament so why try to pretend that it is? It’s about being able to handle the situation and not letting it drain you. It’s been six-seven weeks since we won the B.C.
Gauthier has played most of the top-level players but never yet Gushue: “There is no better place to finally play him than at the Brier, and early in the Brier.” Gauthier is from Winnipeg and Ginter was raised in Dawson Creek and now resides in Edmonton. The rink got together through old connections. Islanders Horvath and Middleton were on Tyler Tardi’s Langley rink that won the 2019 world junior championship after beating Gauthier in the Canadian championship game. Tardi and Gauthier are cousins and Gauthier’s maternal side of the family are the Tardis of B.C.
