I see that the juniors have a similar draw as the brier and Scottie’s. 18 teams each but 4-5 provinces in each have 2 teams. When did they change this? I like it as it gives more of the young teams the taste of national competition. Just curious though, who and how did they decide which provinces get the 2 teams?

Also any streaming anywhere?

This would have been the second year with the changes but COVID cancelled last year's competition.

Three (maybe four) MA's that perform the best over a 3 year average get to send a second team. It may be the top three MA's and then the host MA also gets a second team but I can't recall specifically.

On the men's side, Nunavut and Yukon are not participating so additional MA's get a second team. Not sure if Nunavut is participating on the ladies side, if not, there would be an additional team #2.

U20's have gone to 18 teams per gender. U18's have increased to 24 teams (I believe) per gender. Underlying theme is to give more teams the experience of attending a national championship and curl on arena ice.

Jacques Gauthier won 2022 Canadian Junior officially as MB2.

https://www.curling.ca/scoreboard/#!/competitions/6240

The non-electronic scoreboard in the venue says MB, and their black jerseys says MB, but they're officially MB2.

He himself acknowledges this fact and talked about the pride of representing all the great Manitoba teams in the past that didn't get to nationals because they lost the provincial finals.

I was browsing through the teams and saw quite a few non-white players, which is very encouraging for future of the sport in such an increasingly diverse country.

I would ask the same question. Sometimes they make you play 8 ends. But if it’s not televised I can’t see why. Some might say it’s a “learning experience “. But, after a week of playing it’s time to shake and go home.

They really are treating this event well aren't they. It used to be it say they should broadcast the whole event but I guess broadcasting the semi and finslnwas better than nothing at all like this year. Pathetic. Well done ten

What I found utterly baffling was that the men's and women's final were at the same time. Why? It was a Friday and they easily could've had them at different times. really disrespectful and especially annoying given the women's final was close but the broadcast men's finale was not.

Talk about eating your young. Why not broadcast both game? And forcing a team to play when they have no hope of winning…cruel. I hope the coach takes it up with Curling Canada
