Canada splits its two matches Tuesday at wheelchair curling world championships

STEVENSTON, Scotland (Curling Canada) Once again Team Canada finished the day strong at the 2025 World Wheelchair Curling Championship in Stevenston, Scotland. After a 10-5 loss to Team England Tuesday morning, the Canadians came back to the ice refreshed and bested Team Scotland 12-6.

Although the home team attracted the best crowd the Auchenharvie Leisure Centre has seen yet, Team Canada prevailed to take the win, starting in the first end by stealing three. The Scots came back with two the next end, but Canada scored another four points to finish the third.

The Scots kept pushing, but Team Canada earned the early concession with four in the seventh end.

“Gil called a really great game,” said Canadian fourth, Jon Thurston (Dunsford, Ont.), about Team Canada skip, Gilbert Dash (Kipling, Sask.). “The whole team threw really well, and playing the host team with the home crowd is always a fun match. Fortunately, we were able to get up on the scoreboard to start the game and quiet the crowd a little bit.”
