Ontario has shot at sweep of Canadian junior curling championships
VICTORIA — Matt Hall led his Ontario rink past Northern Ontario’s Tanner Horgan in an extra end on Saturday night to advance to the men’s Canadian junior curling championship final.
Hall’s team from Kitchener — vice-skip Jeff Wanless, second Joey Hart and lead David Hart — will play for a gold medal on Sunday afternoon against B.C.’s Tyler Tardi.
Both Ontario teams will be playing for gold on Sunday. Skip Hailey Armstrong from Ottawa will take an unbeaten record into the women’s gold-medal game against Alberta’s Kristen Streifel in the morning.
“It’s been an amazing week; no matter how this week ends, we’ve got nothing to be ashamed of,” said Hall. “It’s always been a dream of mine to have that shot having a Maple Leaf on my back, and I’m so happy I’ll have the chance to do that tomorrow.”
