Brett Gallant rink wins Challenge Casino de Charlevoix World Curling Tour event

PEI’s Brett Gallant rink, which includes Eddie MacKenzie at third, second Anson Carmody, and lead Alex MacFadyen, captured the $12,000 top prize at the 2011 Challenge Casino de Charlevoix World Curling Tour event in Clermont Quebec this afternoon. Gallant scored three points in the sixth end to edge Newfoundland and Labrador’s Brad Gushue rink, which includes Gallant’s former teammate Adam Casey at lead, by a 5-4 score in a game that otherwise saw only single points by each side. The Gushue foursome go home with $7000.  Third and fourth place finishers were defending event champion Mike McEwen of Winnipeg Manitoba, and Pierre Charette of Saguenay Quebec, who each pocketed $4000 in the 18 team triple-knockout event. Gallant scored a six-ender in his 10-4 win over Charette in the semi-finals.  Ian Fitzner-LeBlanc of Halifax was one of the four quarter-finalists, who received $2500 each.
