Gallant will be tasked with most of the sweeping duties. Peterman is now 29 weeks pregnant and will take on more of a skipping role this week. Peterman and Gallant, who won the Canadian title in 20, had a strong round-robin record at the worlds in Geneva but fell in a qualification game.
Homan and John Morris missed the playoffs at the Beijing Games. Canada's entries at both events came up short of the podium. Like it did for last year's Winter Olympics, the national sport organization declared a team for the 2022 world mixed doubles championship. Sudbury was slated to host the 2022 playdowns last March, but Curling Canada scrubbed the event due to restrictions and health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Top-ranked Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant are also in the field along with Rachel Homan and Tyler Tardi, Nancy Martin and Tyrel Griffith, Lisa Weagle and John Epping, and Jennifer Jones and Brent Laing. The Muyres-Walker pairing is one of the headline duos in the 32-team event starting Tuesday at the Gerry McCrory Countryside Sports Complex in Sudbury, Ont.
"Whether you win or lose, it shows you what you need to do to become better." "It shows you where you're at," Muyres said of this week's competition. Muyres and Laura Walker are striving to qualify for the Olympic trials, and a national title would serve as a key building block in their quest to represent Canada at the 2026 Milan Games. When Kirk Muyres decided to shift from men's team curling to mixed doubles, the upcoming Canadian championship was one of the top events circled on his calendar.
