On the men’s front, both PEI’s Adam Casey rink, and the Brad Gushue foursome from St. John’s, which includes PEI native Brett Gallant, are in the quarters, which start at 10 am Atlantic, at the Challenge Château Cartier de Gatineau event in Gatineau, Buckingham, and Thurso QC. Gushue is playing Quebec’s Guy Hemmings, while Casey is up against Shawn Adams from Halifax, who has Mark Dacey as his third.
Gushue won the triple-knockout event in 2013, with both Gallant and Casey on his team. They were runners-up to Dacey in 2012. Both the Gushue and Casey rinks lost in the quarter-finals last year.
