Mixed Doubles Begins Sunday!

Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship begins Sunday at Summerside, P.E.I. 

Canadian curling fans will set their sights eastward this week as 32 of the country’s best mixed doubles tandems will clash at the 2025 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship at Summerside, P.E.I. 

With six days of action set to begin Sunday at 6 p.m., (all times Atlantic) from the Gerard “Turk” Gallant Arena at Credit Union place and the Silver Fox Entertainment Complex, a chance to wear the Maple Leaf at the 2026 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship (location to be named later) and a $100,000 total purse hangs in the balance. 

Fresh off winning the Canadian Mixed Doubles Olympic Trials berth in December, Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant (Chestermere, Alta.) are in pursuit of a third Canadian mixed doubles crown after victories in 2016 at Saskatoon and 2019 at Fredericton. The pair is the only team in Canadian mixed doubles history to ever repeat as champions. 

Gallant himself just mustered a 2025 Montana’s Brier win playing second for Alberta’s Team Brad Jacobs last week and could complete a historic quadruple-crown by adding a Canadian mixed doubles championship and a Montana’s Canadian Curling Trials victory, set for Nov. 22-30, 2025, at Halifax, to his already historic 2025-2026 season. 

Not to be denied, however, are the reigning Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling champions Kadriana Lott and Colton Lott (Gimli, Man.), who are vying to become to first ever back-to-back winners in Canadian Mixed Doubles history. The Lott tandem posted a perfect 10-0 record at the 2024 championship to claim the top prize. 

Perennial contenders and mixed doubles specialists Laura Walker and Kirk Muyres (Edmonton/Humbolt, Sask.) will be in the field looking for redemption after a disappointing early exit at the Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Trials and a final-end measure left them as runners-up at the 2024 Canadian Mixed Doubles Championship. The pair is a proven winner with a 2018 Canadian Mixed Doubles Championship at Leduc, Alta., to its name. 

But the field isn’t just filled with seasoned veterans. Young up-and-comers Jessica Zheng and Victor Pietrangelo (Niagara Falls, Ont.) will be looking for its first Canadian championship after a bronze-medal finish in mixed doubles at the 2025 FISU World University Games. The pair are currently ranked eighth overall in Canadian mixed doubles and are strong contenders to be in the playoff mix. 

The 32-team field is divided into four pools of eight and features 12 provincial/territorial champions, along with the semifinalists from the 2024 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, the top-four placing teams at the 2025 Mixed Doubles Curling Trials and 10 2024/25 Canadian Mixed Doubles Rankings teams as of Feb. 18, 2025. 

Teams play a seven-game round-robin schedule from Sunday evening through Wednesday, with 12 teams advancing to the single knockout playoffs, which begin on Thursday morning. The four pool winners earn byes directly into the quarterfinals on Thursday at 7 p.m., while the teams with the following eight best records, regardless of the pool, will compete in the opening playoff draw at 3 p.m.   

The semifinals are scheduled for Friday at 9:30 a.m., with the gold-medal game at 1 p.m. 

There will be no tiebreaker games. All ties are broken based on head-to-head results and if that doesn’t resolve the tie, the pre-game Last Shot Draw totals will rank the teams.
