It worked so well last time, why not try the same thing again?
It was just prior to the 2023 Canadian Wheelchair Curling Championship last spring that Team Saskatchewan members Marie Wright and Gil Dash took the ice in the Original 16 Cash League final and went on to claim the championship with an impressive win.
A little over a week later, the duo would be wearing Canadian championship gold medals after an incredible week of success in the national tournament.
And now they’re taking the exact same path.
Wright and Dash joined forces with Braydan Mohns and Jason Gudereit on Wednesday night to win the second-straight Original 16 Cash League title for KMS Construction, defeating Penny Barker’s BTN Chartered Accountants foursome 9-2 at the Moose Jaw Curling Centre.
The win caps off an undefeated run through the playoffs for Mohns and crew and was a mild upset, as KMS had put together a 12-6 in the regular season to finish in second place, while BTN had the top regular-season mark at 16-2.
Other results from the final night of Original 16 action saw Leeville Construction (Dustin Woloschuk) take a 9-5 win over John’s Music (Ryan Wenarchuk) in the B final, while Fountain Tire (Barry Silk) won the C final with a 10-5 win over Young and Young Automotive (Stan Barnsley), RK Sunview Farms (Dayne Heisler) defeated EMJ Marketing (Joe Gunnis) 6-5 in the D final and Ryder Helmeczi took a 9-8 win over Wade Gray to claim the E final.
Wright and Dash begin their drive for five Canadian Wheelchair Curling national titles on Sunday afternoon when they take on Moose Jaw’s Rod Pederson and Saskatchewan 2 at 3 p.m. at the Moose Jaw Curling Centre.
