Felix Asselin’s Quebec rink remained the only unbeaten team at the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship after winning twice Tuesday, while Sylvie Quillian’s New Brunswick team moved atop the other pool.

Quebec finished the third day of competition at West Prince Curling Club in Prince Edward Island with a 4-0 record to lead Pool A, according to Canadian Press reporting published by CBC.

Asselin’s team opened Tuesday with a 6-3 victory over Peter Mackey’s Nunavut foursome, then defeated Andrew Hodgson’s Alberta rink 7-3 in the evening draw.

New Brunswick also won both of its Tuesday games, improving to 4-1 in Pool B. Quillian’s rink beat Scott Williamson’s Yukon team 9-2 in six ends before needing an extra end to edge Brent MacDougall’s Nova Scotia foursome 5-4.

That left New Brunswick at the top of a pool with three teams sitting at 3-1: MacDougall’s Nova Scotia rink, Colin Kurz’s Manitoba team and Joshua Miki’s British Columbia foursome.

In Pool A, Bryan Burgess’s Northern Ontario team improved to 3-1 with a 6-5 win over Saskatchewan, which fell to 2-3. Saskatchewan scored two in the opening end, and Northern Ontario answered with two in the second. After Saskatchewan moved ahead 3-2 in the third, Burgess’s rink scored another pair in the fourth to take a 4-3 lead.

Elsewhere in Pool A, Cory Heggestad’s Ontario team and Hodgson’s Alberta rink were both 2-2. Scott Eaton’s Newfoundland and Labrador team stood at 2-3, while Nunavut remained winless at 0-4.

In Pool B, Adam Arsenault’s team from host Prince Edward Island held a 2-2 record. Yukon was 0-4, and Betti Delorey’s Northwest Territories rink was 0-5.

The championship continues Wednesday with three draws. Medal games are scheduled for Saturday.
