Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant rang in the new year with a convincing win on Wednesday morning at the 2025 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Trials in Liverpool.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peterman and Gallant improved their record to 5-0 with the 8-1 victory after six ends over Jim Cotter and Jaelyn Cotter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gallant said after the game that they\u2019re happy with their start to the tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’re where we want ot be and we’ve been tested most games so it’s been a really good start,” Gallant told QCCR. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We’re just feeling more comfortable with the ice conditions and with how we’re playing, so just try to keep it going forward. Jocelyn made a really nice shot for two in the first end and it got us off to a really nice start and we made a lot of nice draws after that and we were able to take control.”<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re at the top of their pool and are one of only two undefeated teams so far as the playoff picture starts to take shape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peterman said they haven\u2019t let themselves think yet about the playoffs.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think our heads are still on the round robin. We have two big matchups still in our pool so we’re focused on that right now.”<\/span><\/p>\n
